The Brecherspitz ridge is a wonderful mountain hiking experience. You should be free from giddiness and sure-footedness, but you don't need climbing skills. There are wonderful views of the Spitzing …

During a winter snowshoe tour, I discovered the turnoff to the east ridge of the Brecherspitz. The tour, described as "pathless," interested me, especially the climbing section.

Sometimes you need your hands for support and partly there are also some exposed sections. In general, the trail is very steep (>40%) and strenuous, but very beautiful and interesting to walk. Stopped at the upper Firstalm. Not for weekend …
