Parstleswand

The Parstleswand stands at 3,091 meters in elevation within the Kaunergrat range of the Oetztal Alps, featuring multiple climbing routes along its ridges.

The mountain emerged as a destination for mountaineers during the late 19th century when explorers began documenting routes through the Austrian Alps.

Local mountaineering traditions center around the Parstleswand, where generations of climbers have established routes and shared knowledge about alpine techniques.

Visitors access the mountain via train to Imst-Pitztal station, followed by a bus to Plangeross and a 3.5-hour hike to reach Kaunergrathütte base.

The east ridge presents a grade IV climbing challenge with superior rock quality, while the western traverse offers a grade II+ route with exposed sections.
