Hoher Burgstall, 2611 m

Cable car tour to a well-known panoramic mountainAlongside Zuckerhütl, Wild Freiger and Habicht, Rinnenspitze, Serles and Elfer, the Hohe Burgstall is one of the "Seven Summits Stubai", promoted by the tourism industry as those peaks in the region that particularly characterize the landscape and mountaineering. It remains to be seen whether this kind of adulation is absolutely necessary - what is beyond doubt is that all the peaks mentioned have a strong attraction and hardly need any additional "advertising" due to their popularity. Anyone who carefully studies the contents of this volume will, of course, find five of the seven candidates, namely those destinations that can be classified as "hikeable" and of course also promise great experiences, even if you will rarely find mountain solitude there. In the case of Hoher Burgstall, this is due to its position directly above the central Stubai Valley and the comparatively short ascent from the Kreuzjochbahn. On the way back, the Starkenburger Hütte, located on the free southern shoulder, is often included.(Automatically translated by DeepL)
