Description

The Hochwilde mountain is composed of two main summits, The Hochwilde north and the Hochwilde south (also named Cima Altissima).

The south summit is the highest point of both, so thats where we are going ! To reach the north summit it is pretty easy, the climb is short and beautiful, this is where peoples stop normally in winter.

For the south summit there is a long ridge to climb.

It is not too difficult as there is a cable all the way, but sometimes in winter the cable can be snow covered.

The climb is exposed sometimes and requires a good technic with crampons.

Do not underestimate this, as you also have to go back to the north summit then.
