Wildspitze (3.774 m) high tour course
Learn mountaineering with summit ascent Wildspitze (3,774 m)
If you want to improve your skills and knowledge, where better than with a mountain professional on a high altitude tour?
The Wildspitze, the highest peak in Tyrol, offers everything that makes a real high-altitude tour: wild glaciers, mixed terrain, easy climbing, an exposed summit ridge and a fantastic summit. The normal route from the Breslauer Hütte is extremely varied. In short stages, it first leads along stony paths through moraine terrain, then via a high alpine via ferrata to the Mitterkarjoch (3,470 m). Here the scenery changes from rock to ice. The remaining 300 m are divided into the rugged Taschachferner and the initially wide, later steep and exposed summit ascent. The aim of the alpine touring course is to independently carry out easy and moderately difficult alpine tours with glacier ascents. You will learn and improve specific safety techniques as well as the necessary crampon and climbing techniques.
Your mountain and ski guide will train with you the basics for easy and moderate high altitude tours before the summit tour. This includes the elementary crampon and belay technique, but also suitable tour planning, rescue techniques and crevasse rescue.
The Breslauer Hütte awaits you as a base for this high altitude course.

"In the summer of 2022, when there was little snow, the normal route to the Wildspitze was a victim of climate change and endangered by falling rocks. The critical spot has since been cleared, but we will continue to monitor the situation and then switch to alternative routes.
The good thing is that the alternatives are no less eventful and instructive. So ideal for a high tour training with mountain guide:in."
