The Braunarlspitze is the highest peak in the northern half of the Lechquellen Mountains and is therefore particularly noticeable from the Bregenzerwald . The Mellau mountain guide Mathias Wüstner made the first ascent in 1877 over the north ridge.
Valley locations / bases
- Schröcken (near Hochtannbergpass)
- Buchboden in the Great Walsertal
- Biberacher Hut (in the northwest)
- Göppinger Hütte (in the southwest)
- Oberlech (in the southeast)
When climbing as part of a day tour, however, you usually cannot pass these huts.
Ascent
The ascent of the Braunarlspitze over the north ridge from Schröcken is a mountain tour that repeatedly has climbing points (I and I +) in the upper part.
From Schröcken (parking lot behind the church ) you go over the Fellealpe ( snack station ) into the Fellbachtal, cross the stream under the waterfall and climb up to the Hochbergsattel ( Braunarlfürggele , 2145 m). From the Fürggele over the Weimarer Steig in easy climbing (I +), in some places safety devices are attached, and over karst crags to the summit.
The Fürggele can also be reached from the Biberacher Hütte via the Weimarer Steig (3.5 hours from the Schutzhaus to the summit), and from Buchboden via the Fürggeleweg.
The Theodor-Prassler-Weg leads through the southern flank of the Braunarlspitze. This high path connects Oberlech over the Butzensee with the Göppinger hut. From Höhenweg branches off at about 2340 m, a trail leading over rubble and crags without climbing points, which takes you to the summit in an hour. You can also go to this junction from the Lechtal, z. B. from train, ascend.
