The Botzer is a 3250 meter high mountain in South Tyrol . As the highest mountain in the Botzer group, it belongs to the southern Stubai Alps . To the north, southeast and west it sends pronounced ridges. It was first climbed from Ridnaun on July 16, 1874 during the great scientific development of the Eastern Alps by Theodor Petersen and the mountain guide Alois Ennemoser .
Environment and location
The Botzer is about six kilometers as the crow flies west of Maiern in the South Tyrolean Ridnaun Valley and about 9 km east of the Timmelsjoch . In the northwest and east, the mountain is surrounded by glaciers . To the northwest lies the southern firn field of the Botzerferner , which extends up to an altitude of 3200 meters, in the east the Hangende Ferner almost reaches the summit cross of the mountain. Neighboring peaks in the course of the partly firn-covered east ridge are the 3192 meter high Hochgwänd , in the south, just under two kilometers away on the extended southeast ridge, the Schwarzseespitze (2988 m). West-northwest of the Botzer, separated from the Botzerscharte (2974 m), is the 3128 meter high Königshofspitze .
Bases and routes
The path of the first climbers led on July 16, 1874 from the Untere Aglsalm over the Hangenden Ferner , the Uebelthalferner and over the northern snow edge to the summit. Today's normal route to the Botzer is similar and leads as a glacier tour (only to be done with appropriate equipment and experience) from the northeast over the Botzerferner and the northeast ridge in, according to literature, easy climbing in UIAA difficulty level I over brittle rock and in warm Summers soft ground, to the summit. The cuphouse at an altitude of 3190 meters (walking time 2 hours) or the Teplitzer Hütte (2586 m, walking time 4 hours) serve as bases . Another route takes 4½ hours from the Schneeberghütte (2355 m) to the south near the former mining settlement of St. Martin am Schneeberg , over the Botzerscharte (difficulty UIAA I).
