Sagzahn

Sagzahn is a summit in Valsertal that rises with steep faces offering multiple climbing routes combining rock and ice climbing techniques. The north-facing wall extends around 800 meters and provides different difficulty levels for climbers of varying experience.

The summit gained recognition in 2018 when climbers established a new route along the north face, bringing attention to the area as a serious climbing destination. This development marked a turning point in how the mountain was viewed within the regional climbing community.

The summit attracts climbers who come to test themselves on demanding routes and share their experiences with the local alpinism community. The north-facing wall draws people who value technical challenges and carry forward the region's climbing traditions.

Visitors should bring equipment for mixed climbing and monitor weather conditions closely, as the valley can change rapidly. The mountain is best accessed during dry periods when both rock and ice conditions are stable.

The north face offers a rare combination of technical rock and ice climbing in a single route, making it stand out from simpler alpine challenges. This blend of disciplines within one ascent draws climbers seeking to test both skillsets simultaneously.
