Ascent: Soon, a wide, open high valley covered in meadows comes into view, where the trail climbs moderately steeply along an old mule trail.

Mountain The Wetterspitze rises along the ridge between Pflersch and Ridnaun. It can be approached from both sides, ideally via the Maurer(spitz)scharte, which lies immediately northwest of our summit and connects the two approaches. There is another route from the Ladurns mountain station; while it might initially seem advantageous due to the higher starting point, it is actually less easy to navigate and hardly any shorter. I’m presenting it here as a descent option to offer experienced hikers an attractive route for a traverse. Of course, you can also choose the opposite direction, but then you won’t be able to leave by lift until 9 a.m.—which isn’t really an advantage.
In St. Anton, cross the bridge and follow the mountain road to the P2 parking lot. Here, we take the forest road toward the Alrissalm and leave it at the first right-hand hairpin turn to take the shortcut trail. After a while, you’ll reach a clearing and the Alrissalm mountain hut (1,534 m). Continue following trail marker No. 27 as you enter the Alrisstal valley. Soon, an open, high alpine valley with meadows comes into view, where the trail climbs moderately steeply along an old mule trail. On the right, a series of switchbacks winds its way upward. In the background of the valley, where the terrain becomes rockier, cross over to the left side and follow further switchbacks up to the Maurerscharte (2,511 m), sometimes also called the Alrissjoch. From there, the Ridnaun ascent joins the route—together, there are 200 meters of elevation gain along the ascending, rocky northwest ridge, which is not sharply defined. Rather broad and rugged, it leads without any difficult sections to the

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.
