Today’s stage once again pushes us to our limits, but at the same time has a lot to offer. At first, the trail leads through various vegetation zones up to the Sadnig. To distinguish it from the neighboring peaks Kleiner Sadnig and Mulleter Sadnig, it is often referred to as Hoher or Großer Sadnig. Because the final scene of the 1996 film “Seven Years in Tibet” was filmed here, the Sadnig also earned the nickname “Brad Pitt Peak.” At 2,745 meters, this mountain—impressive in every respect and offering spectacular views—stands just nine meters below the Fraganter Scharte, the highest point of our Alpine crossing. We hike to the Staller Tor through one of the least-known corners of the Hohe Tauern. As remote as this area may seem, it is equally enchanting. The long descent into the Möll Valley is less strenuous than the elevation profile might suggest. We follow alpine trails, forest roads, and an old school path, enjoying the views of the Kreuzeck Group, which we’ll be climbing tomorrow.
From the Fraganter mountain hut (1,810 m), we walk back a short distance along yesterday’s route and then turn left at a fork onto a gravel alpine road. 800 m past the fork, we keep to Trail 146, heading slightly to the left. After passing through a beautiful larch forest, we ignore the turnoff to the Kleiner Sadnig (see “Alternative Route”). We continue steadily uphill through heathland, across pastures, and alongside streams. At an elevation of 2,484 m, we reach the Sadnigscharte. The same trail markers lead us south to the Sadnig, 2,745 m. Up here, everything is impressive: the 360-degree panoramic view of the Hohe Tauern mountain ranges, the variety of rock formations, the delicate flora, even the summit cross and the solitude. We descend into the saddle, 2,594 m, between the Sadnig and the Kleiner Sadnig. Those who have chosen the shorter but more difficult route rejoin the main trail here. At the fork in the Sadnig saddle, we continue to the right toward Staller Tor. We hike
