30HSOA-#19 Zuckerhütl Map

This summit is really known, most of the time crowded.

Description

But this year with the lifts closed during the week it was different. We havent seen anybody the all day and it makes it a remote summit.

We did not took the lifts, so it is a long way. But always easy and never too exposed, is a great summit for a first high alpine tour. For the way down, we went down the Sulzenauferner and it is I think the best way to do this round ! But for this option, the crevasses have to be well covered by the snow, the glacier is really open on the steep part.

Difficulty

Moderate

Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.

Low Exposure (E1)

1 out of 4

Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.

1 out of 4

Close to help in case of emergency.
