Zischgeles

Zischgeles is a mountain summit in the Stubai Alps standing at 3,004 meters with steep slopes and exposed ridges along its climbing routes. The ascents require sure-footedness and pass through sections equipped with chains and bolts for support.

Late in the 19th century, climbers began documenting their ascents of this peak, establishing its reputation as an important destination for mountain pursuits. The mountain became recognized as part of the classic routes in the region.

The trails around this peak connect traditional villages where residents have long depended on mountain farming and continue their heritage today.

Access is through Praxmar via marked trails, with steep sections secured by chains and bolts that require careful movement. Visitors should have hiking experience and exercise extra caution when weather or ground conditions are unfavorable.

The view of the peak's ridge structure changes noticeably with seasons and weather, making the route look entirely different depending on when you arrive. Snow and exposed rock create vastly different visual and technical conditions between seasons.
