Haupenhohe Map

Escursione di mezza giornata piuttosto impegnativa come dislivello. Si lascia l'auto nel paesino alle pendici del monte, si consiglia un po' prima per non essere d'intralcio. Si intraprende la prima parte di salita salendo dal bosco subito successivo al villaggetto fino a tornare allo scoperto (2H), si procede lungo i prati fino a raggiungere il rifugio Pfitscher Joch (0.5H). Qui si intraprende la seconda parte della salita, più impegnativa come pendenza e terreno accidentato, per raggiungere la croda rossa (2H). Infine si punta alla vetta con la salita finora più impegnativa come pendenza (0.45H); si consiglia di prestare davvero molta attenzione in questo tratto per via della molta pendenza e per la possibile presenza di neve, che potrebbe costringere a concludere in questo punto l'escursione, si consiglia di tenersi con le mani continuamente al gruppo di rocce sulla destra durante l'ascesa.

Description

(Challenging half-day excursion in terms of height difference. Leave the car in the village at the bottom of the mountain, it's good choice to park a little earlier to be out of the privates. The first part of the route is undertaken just after the small village, going up in the wood until reaching the open area (2H), proceed along the meadows until the Pfitscher Joch's refuge (0.5H). Here takes place the second part of the route, more demanding in terms of slope and rough terrain, to reach the red croda (2H). Eventually there's the last ascent to the summit, the most difficult in term of slope (0.45H); it is advisable to pay very close attention in this section due to the severe slope and the possible presence of snow, which could lead to stop the excursion, it is advisable to hold hands continuously on the rocks at right during the ascent.)
