ノイシュティフトイムストゥバイタルの峠・トップ20

A relatively straightforward ascent via the Hohe Egg and the west ridge with occasional easy scrambling (I). The ascent or descent via the east ridge is prone to rockfall due to loose scree ⚠️ and is technically more demanding (II).

Great tour

Lovely path and kains!

The Zwölfernieder is a 2,300-meter-high pass below the Elferspitze. It connects the Pinnistal with the Stubai Valley.

The Beiljoch, also called Peiljoch, is a narrow alpine pass above the Dresdner Hütte. The approach to the pass is secured with wire ropes due to its partially exposed areas. Concentration and surefootedness are required on the climb! Once you reach the pass, you have a beautiful view of the Sulzenausee, which is the end of the Sulzenauferner. Ice floes are constantly floating in the deep blue water.

What is missing on the ascent to Kühtai - the serpentines - is an advantage on the descent. Here you can really let your hair down. Be careful with the pasture grates. It is a good idea to have lights in the tunnels.

The path from the Zwölfernieder down to the Autenalm is really very steep, narrow and exposed. In my opinion, this is a black path and requires surefootedness and a head for heights. This should be pointed out on the tour.
