Hoher Weißzint, 3371 m

South-facing tour to the Hochfeiler"s neighborThe Hohe Weißzint is located on the ridge between the Hochferner/Hochfeiler and the Grosser Möseler and can be climbed to the summit on skis in good conditions. After the ascent from the Neves reservoir through the lovely Pfeifholder valley, tourers can expect a brisk slope of almost 700 vertical meters, which is quite steep at the beginning and leans back towards the Obere Weißzintscharte. The rest of the tour - just under 200 vertical meters - may have a certain question mark for some tourers, as the ascent of the Gliderferner on the south-west side of the Weißzint is considered to be crevassed and requires glacier equipment. If the snow conditions are good, visibility is good and the tracks are well laid out, you can still make the ascent without a rope if you keep to the slope to the right above the glacier. In an emergency, you can still avoid the south-west ridge of the Weißzint, which is blocky and not at all short, but offers no orientation problems and definitely has no crevasses. The descent leaves nothing to be desired and the views from the summit and from the Weißzintferner to the south are unparalleled.(Automatically translated by DeepL)
