Rock at the junctionPhoto: Joachim Altenhein, DAV Sektion Berlin
On a round marble slab about 1.4 m in diameter at the summit, the following inscription is engraved: "Tourist table dedicated by Mr. Dr. Ludwig Windecker and his wife Erna from Berlin 1902." It was this Mr. Windecker from Berlin who dragged this heavy marble table up here. He wanted to inspire his beloved wife for this great viewpoint mountain. However, she only wanted to accompany him to the summit if she found the accustomed table there, well aware of the difficulties such a wish entailed.
And so he fulfilled the wife's wish, had the marble slab made by a stonemason in the area and carried it up to the summit. In 1996, the mountain rescue of Mals restored the marble slab.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
Track types
Rest stops
OberetteshütteSafety information
The partly pathless route requires good orientation skills. In July, one should also have a secure feeling for steep snowfields.Roadbook
Turn right off the path and follow the red-white-red markings westward to the right of the southern Gabelzbach. First it goes over green meadows, then the greenery becomes sparse until you walk only over rock blocks. The path then turns north and climbs a scree slope with effort. We ascended left of it on a snowfield until we rejoined the marked path.
The path first leads to the ridge of the fore-ridge Gabelzspitze, then on to the lowest point on the ridge between Pleres Spitze in the south and Valvel Spitze in the north.
From the notch, you should not continue directly along the ridge towards Valvel (delicate passages), but descend about 100 meters southwest on the Planeiler side. On the west side of the cirque, you find the markings indicating the path rising from the Planeil Valley. Follow this path up the south slope on rocky and steep terrain to the summit (good markings). There are also light climbing sections to master here.
When we did the route at the beginning of July 2014, there was still a lot of snow in the cirque behind the notch. Since it was very difficult to get through the snow, we worked our way through the rock wall on a difficult route before we reached the marked path on the other side of the cirque. If conditions permit, one should not follow our track but descend further and then switch to the other side of the cirque.
The descent is on the same path.

Equipment
The long and solitary path requires complete mountain hiking equipment (sturdy hiking boots, sun hat, rain gear, provisions, water, etc.). A first aid kit with an emergency blanket should not be forgotten. Safety equipment, rope, or helmet are not required.Localization
