Seen the Peitlerkofel of the Würzjoch

The 2.875 m high Peitlerkofel (Ladin SAS de Pütia) marks the northern end South Tyrol Dolomites. Located between the Isarco Valley Val Badia . South of the Tasty joches, in the municipality of St. Martin in Thurn, loads this impressive mountain to a comfortable orbit and on a light, secured Fixed rope route (I guess difficulty 1) to a climb.

For each South Tyrol -hiker und Mountain skiers is the ascent of Putia, because on top you have a wonderful view of Südtiroler and Trientner Dolomites with the mountain formations:  Geisler group, Puez, Sella Massif , Marmolada , Tofane und Heiligkreuzkofel , Tens und High Gaisl.

We drive from South Tyrol Unterland towards Brenner. Ideally you would drive in direction Plose in the Villnössertal or near Brixen and then further up to the Würzjoch. Two Walks around Lüsen cause my memory, to link the Würzjoch with Luson, What causes, We control the Würzjoch narrow Lüsner road.

We are surprised when the directions, that one actually up here wanted to send the Giro d'Italia was two or three years ago. At the junction with the Plose road we understand, Giro d'Italia would certainly have the Plose road.

We Park our car in a meadow at the Würzjoch (fee-based) behind the hotel Appartamenti de Börz. From here the Peitlerkofel for us looks hiker pretty unbesteigbar from. The north face is definitely not for us!

Hiking Peitlerkofel

Our hike leads to us to start directly on the Peitlerkofel. At the hut Munt de Furnela leads the cosy Hiking trail over . Against the clock we four want to circumnavigate the Peitlerkofel not only, but also climb.

The first relevant metres up to the goes

Southwest facing the Günther Messner Steig, by the Tullen up to the Goes leads , and March of the Würzjoch back Peitler-wort (Furcela de Pütia) opposed to.

Up here the hiking trail was completely flat, at the foot of goes it is now first slightly uphill, to be always steep. It is quite warm. I've had my companions behind me and walk on track, to sacrifice a little sweat the Peitlerkofel.

Peitlerkofelscharte

After approximately 300 Is altitude Peitlerkofelscharte managed. Me N is a crossroads and the turnoff to the path. 4(B), which will bring on the Peitlerkofel up.

The Peitlerkofelscharte is the crossroad between Peitlerkofelumrundung and Peitlerkofelbesteigung.

After few minutes comes the Uwe and again a few minutes later minutes women. We stop briefly and a snack. While the Irene and the Uwe still negotiate, whether the Peitlerkofel climb with us or to prefer a walk up to the next hut, start the best wife and I up to the Summit of the Peitlerkofel.

Climb to the Summit of the Peitlerkofel

Again it says Flash and left to overtake Probably because the South Tyrol weather forecast has announced today a wonderful view, get loads hiker the Peitlerkofel high.

We are now on 2,760 metres. Us we see high hiking the Irene and the Uwe the serpentine. Apparently they want the views here on the Peitlerkofel but don't miss.

The best wife and I have reached the via ferrata. A young woman is after 10 Metres down and dared not a step forward one backward to make, What causes, that the best wife from all all ambition, to climb the Peitlerkofel, loses. I must spend my whole persuasion, to convince them, that it but not the Summit experience should deprive themselves!

He light Fixed rope route is, Despite the fairly polished and thus slippery rock easy to deal with. A holiday hikers is high even his offspring in the carrying bag. I think that then still somewhat dangerous, but when the Lord himself safe fuehlt… Again we have to wait. Today there is congestion in via ferrata!

At the Summit of the Peitlerkofel – experience the Alps and Dolomites

After approximately 20 Minutes are rewarded our efforts. We are faced with the Summit cross and enjoy the wonderful Super views. In the South we see the striking Geisler, left behind that Puez, a more level behind the pyramid-shaped tip of the Biz BoE on the Sella Massif , easy links and back behind the Punta PeniaMarmolata , left of the Monte Civetta, is it the Tofane, kehrend back to the front of the impressive wall of Heiligkreuzkofelgruppe with the Kreuzkofelspitze and the Ten top, then the High Gaisl, us further turning the white peaks of the Zillertal Alps , the Ötztal Alps, theOrtler group, then finally focus on the 360 ° turn,the pretty puny appearing hereMendel comb and finally the Schlern with the Pez.

At the Summit of Putia.

The Peitlerkofel keeps his promise, to be wonderful vantage point on the northern gate of the Dolomites, 100%an IG. Personally annoyed me unfortunately regarding. 360° Photo a fog vaporous, the partout will soft of the Badia Valley or. move pretty fast, immediately follow a colleague.

Since wait our two fellow walkers at foot of climbing converted, We keep on not long. The descent takes longer than the rise. The via ferrata congestion situation has worsened. The best wife fights once again with their nervousness. It must be promoted in the narrow via ferrata past and therefore again briefly let go of the rope.

Panoramic view to the small mount, the easily reachable lower second tip of the Peitlerkofel

The via ferrata is done. Because Uwe and Irene not much been develop which over a light hiking trail in 10 Minutes available Small Pütia (the deeper a lot second tip of Putia) to visit, We descend to the goes, turn left and follow the now wide unmade road, What we at many smaller, not managed Alpine huts past results.

Stop appartamenti Vaćiara

We are now on the Gadertaler side of Putia and the pretty strollAppartamenti Vaćiara Cottage contrary to. The landscape, the view, the panorama are fabulous. Especially the Heiligkreuzkofelgruppe shapes a me in memory.

The Peitlerwiesen with view of Peitlerkofel and Heiligkreuzkofelgruppe

The Vaciara cottage is no Inn, but an Alm, managed the year seemingly just a few months. Located in the Peitlerwiesen on the West side of the Badia Valley with panoramic views of the Heiligkreuzkofel we enjoy late lunch.

Quietly made our stomachs, Suppose the invitation of the smiling sun and stretch out on the marks mown meadow in front of the Vaciara Alm. We is not quite right. Of course I mean that 3 others; Once again I'm busy with my photo gear. The more I look to the Heiligkreuzkofel over, more reinforces my decision, to rise this year as up.

Peitlerwiesen with a view to the Heiligkreuzkofel and the Peitlerkofel

To approximately 16.30 We set clock, to see our Peitlerkofel circumnavigation to complete. We walk on the wide dirt road in direction North West. After a pleasant half hour we reach the Göma. Left onto, We walk the gently sloping path through very light wood down. Hoping to have not again steeply upwards, Now we go along the northeastern foot of Putia. Soon we pass a huge rock at its foot, fine neatly, pretty ausgedorrte, armdicke branches have been angeleht. We can make no figure it out. Later we will experience, that here a drama (anything with witches) has hosted or will host.

Again we pass some hikers. This time a South Tyrolean family. A three- Cheese high, dressed in a traditional short lederhosen, the certainly only independently can travel for a few months, shouts his father contrary to: "I frai mi schun afn bacon"!“.

The north face of the Peitlerkofel

With the Goema hut(Appartamenti Goema) includes our Peitlerkofelumrundung and ending this magnificent after another few hundred metres to the Würzjoch Hiking day on the north side of the South Tyrol Dolomites.

The Peitlerkofel ascent or. for non-climbers at least travel around this beautiful South Tyrol Summit is not only recommended, No, I maintain mandatory, If you would like to experience the Dolomites.
