Wildspitze via Breslauer hut 3,768m

For weather reasons, we chose the ascent in one day. At 5 a.m. (early July is already bright then) start from Vent 1896m, just behind the sports and grocery shop, on a well-signposted path below the cable car, the hiking trail over Stabein to the Breslauer hut 2,840m. The section is indicated as 2.5 hours.

After the hut, continue northwest, following the markings or cairns into the Mitterkar. We soon encountered snowfields. The path mostly runs at the lowest point of the cirque towards northwest and then turns at about 3,260m towards south. The only fairly rockfall-free crossing out of the cirque becomes visible. For us, the snow gully extended to about 3,420m. The rock ridge was set up as a via ferrata (A-B), but here too the steel cable was still a few meters under snow. Ice axe and crampons are definitely necessary. At 3,468m the Mitterkarjoch is reached. Ahead lies the Taschachferner. The track leads in a large right curve over the steep section and crevasse zone between 3,500m and 3,600m. The steep northwest slope is climbed on the least steep, left side of the slope. Just before us, the track was probably covered by numerous snow slides. We go in a southern direction to the saddle at about 3,660m and continue the northwest ridge to the summit. Here too the conditions were variable, ice, snow, the last 50m climbing UIAA I. From the Breslauer hut the ascent is indicated as 3.5 hours.

Descent as ascent but easier on the knees with the chairlift. From the Breslauer hut the upper station of the lift "Wildes Mannle" is reachable in about 3/4 hour. Last descent 4:30 p.m. (as of 07/2020), last descent of the "Wildspitze" chairlift 5:00 p.m.
