High alpine mountain tours in South Tyrol
To Mount Schneebiger Nock
Mount Schneebiger Nock has many famous neighbors, which are, like him, over 3000 m high. For example: Magerstein, Hochgall, Schwarze Wand, Morgenkofel und einige mehr wie Windschar, Rauchkofel, Fensterlekofel or Wasserkopf.All of them are part of the Rieserferner-mountain-group in Tauferer Ahrntal Valley. Here we present to mountaineers the ascent from Rein in Taufers over Kasseler Refuge to Mount Schneebiger Nock.
The ascent to Mount Schneebiger Nock
Below the refuge cross the Tristenbach river and follow path 1 to the northern ridge (some easy climbing parts) and over the steep glacier (attention when it is icy: don’t forget to take the climbing irons with you). After you have cross the glacier you come to the last ridge and finally to the peak of Mount Schneebiger Nock.
Descent
The way back is the same as the ascent. Alternatively you can also descent on the eastern ridge. But this route is more difficult and longer and furthermore you reach not Kasseler Refuge but the Rieserferner Refuge.Details
