The Bergkastelspitze is 2912 m above sea level. A. high summit in the Nauderer Mountains , part of the Ötztal Alps .
Location and surroundings
The Bergkastelspitze is about 6 km southeast of Nauders on the border between Austria and Italy or North Tyrol and South Tyrol . It is located near the main Alpine ridge , upstream of it to the north and sends a 600-meter-long ridge to the south, which joins the main ridge at P. 2960 half a kilometer east of the Plamorder peak ( 2982 m ).
Routes to the summit
From the mountain station of the Bergkastelbahn, the route leads on path no.20 first across a mountain meadow. Then you follow the path through the high valley called Ganderbild , first over blockwork and then on an easy path to a large boulder "Beim Stein". From here you continue on the marked path to the lower Goldsee and then via blockwork along the eastern side of the lake to the upper Goldsee. On the southern flank of the east ridge, you follow the climbing tracks with faded markings towards the summit. The last approx. 50 m to the summit lead over an easy via ferrata secured with steel cables.
Another route to the summit leads over a demanding via ferrata, the so-called "Goldweg". The entrance on the northeast flank of the mountain can be reached from the mountain station of the Bergkastelbahn on a marked path. The via ferrata leads partly exposed to the northwest ridge and finally over this to the summit.
