Be sure to take the final climb to the summit from the Blaserhütte. Breathtaking panorama with views all the way to Innsbruck.

If you want to go from Neder through the Pinnistal to the Kirchdachspitze, I would recommend the uphill trail that runs 500 meters from the Pinnisalm towards the Karalm and then leads to the Kirchdachspitze. This trail is significantly more difficult downhill than the path below the Hammerspitze back to the Issenangeralm in the Pinnistal.

The Santa Madgalena via ferrata is rated C, although a more difficult E variant is also available. The safety is very good, and the ascent is 270 meters. A scenic treat awaits you on this via ferrata, with a vertical middle section and a pretty mountain chapel at the end. The return route leads back to the valley via a hiking trail. However, you should avoid the via ferrata in wet conditions. Before you start climbing, you can try out various via ferrata difficulties from A to E at the start in the Alpine Safety Area.

Only experienced skiers with snowshoes or skis should go further into the terrain.👍 If everything goes well, this is a beautiful summit 🥰

The climb to the Blaserhütte was long but doable. From the Blaserhütte, the descent into the valley was more like constantly guiding the bike with the brakes on. For me, the loose ground and the countless bends made riding impossible. But with perseverance and a few scratches, I finally arrived in the long valley.

Also relatively easy to do with a mountain bike until just before the summit!

Simply an impressive mountain world, high above the Wipptal. You feel very small here. The views from the pass of the surrounding Stubai Alps are magnificent!
