Taxi ride to the Obertal and easy trail hike to the rustic Bremer Hut at 2413 m = 7915 ft. (9 km, 5.5 mi distance with 915m, 3000ft uphill climb).
Day 4:
Trail hike with some cable protected sections across the steep pass of the Simmingjoechl 2764m (9070 ft.), where we can leave our backpacks behind for an optional ascent of the glaciated Eastern Feuerstein (3268 m = 10720 ft). Descent to the Nuernberger Hut (2280 m = 7480ft), a very comfortable and spacious lodge with showers available!
Day 5:
Ascent of the wildly glaciated Wilder Freiger (3418m = 11211ft.) and descent to the Italian side of the range to spend the night in the spectacularly located and very high Mueller Hut (3140m = 10300ft).
Day 6:
The big summit day. We start with a roped scramble along an exciting rock ridge to the Wilder Pfaff (33460m = 11350ft). A quick descent on talus and glacier leads us to the Pfaffensattel (3330m = 10920 ft), where we can deposit the backpacks for the ascent of the Zuckerhuetl (3505 m = 11500 ft), the highest peak in the Stubai Alps. Descent down the Sulzenau Glacier to the Cable Car station of the Stubai Glacier summer ski area and return to the valley. Transfer by bus or taxi back to our Hotel in Neustift.
