In the upper Zillertal, the beautifully shaped Dristner stands out strikingly—as you drive into the valley toward Mayrhofen, you’re heading straight toward it, so to speak. Its steep grassy slopes seem to plunge into the abyss. For experienced mountain hikers, Ginzling’s local peak—which, incidentally, is the northernmost summit in the rugged Floitenkamm range—is just within reach, provided you have absolutely sure footing and impeccable stamina. After all, nearly 1,800 meters of elevation gain—often steep—must be “conquered” without any rest stops—selective factors that spare the Dristner the crowds typical of the Ahornspitze. Within the scope of this guide, this is arguably the most exclusive destination. It rewards persistent hikers with a fantastic panoramic view across the Zillertal peaks all the way to the Großvenediger.
In Ginzling, at 985 m, right in front of the Floiten Bridge, head toward the houses in the back below the striking Nasenwand, where the short approach to the sport via ferrata also begins. From there, however, we keep to the right and follow a trail that winds its way up the steep forested slope. After numerous switchbacks, a somewhat overgrown traverse to the left leads to the huts at Floitenschlag, at about 1,430 m. Continue traversing a short distance further, then ascend again via switchbacks; the trail soon becomes more pleasant than in the lower section of the route. Below the Wandegg hunting lodge, at about 1,800 m, the forest thins out before we finally emerge onto open meadows. Interspersed among some flatter sections is an occasionally damp step. Then ascend from the west side toward the prominent spur of the Dristner. The narrow, mostly dirt path winds through increasingly steep grassy slopes and joins the southwest ridge, where P. 2446 on the AV map forms a sort of shoulder.

Mark Zahel
Mark Zahel hat als fleißiger Wanderer und Bergsteiger bisher mehr als 3000 Tage auf Alpentouren verbracht und schöpft aus dieser Passion seit über 20 Jahren eine intensive publizistische Tätigkeit. Die Liste seiner Buchveröffentlichungen umfasst inzwischen rund 80 Titel – in jüngster Zeit sind auch einige Wanderführer über norddeutsche Regionen hinzugekommen. Seine Kenntnisse reichen über weite Teile des Alpenbogens, besonders häufig aber ist er in dem breiten Streifen zwischen Bayern und Südtirol unterwegs. Zahel vergleicht seine Erkundungen gern mit einem Puzzlespiel, dem immer wieder neue Teile hinzugefügt werden, ohne dass es jemals »vollendet« werden könnte oder sollte. So bleibt die persönliche Entdeckungslust ungebrochen, während sich das »Gesamtbild« nach und nach immer detailreicher herausschärft.
