The Great Löffler (Italian Monte Lovello ) is a 3379 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the main ridge of the Zillertal Alps on the border between the Austrian state of Tyrol and the Italian province of South Tyrol . Immediately to the north is the Kleine Löffler ( 3225 m ), immediately to the south is the Tribbachspitze (also Trippachspitze , 3271 m ), another secondary peak. The dominant , pyramidal mountain sends pronounced ridges to the west, north, northeast and south, with the southern ridge forming the state border between Austria and Italy. The mountain has got its name since 1840 from the spoonful at its foot . The Italian name Lovello is a phonetic adaptation of the German term and was introduced by the Italian nationalist Ettore Tolomei .
Location and surroundings
The mountain is a good three kilometers as the crow flies southeast of the Floitengrund valley head, 3 to 4 hours' walk above the Greizer Hut . The rock mountain, exposed by its geographical dominance, is surrounded by glaciers . In the north lies the Löfflerkees , in the east the Frankbachkees , in the south the Tribbachkees and in the west finally the Floitenkees . The neighboring peaks are significantly lower, in the north-northeast the Greizerspitze at 3,007 meters, in the east the Keilbachspitze (3,093 m), in the southwest the Ostliche Floitenspitze (Italian: Cima di Floita Est ) with 3,154 meters. Towards the northeastern end of the Stilluppe (also called Stillupptal ), the northeast side of the Großer Löffler slopes down into 600-meter-high rock slabs. To the south the area slopes down to the Ahrntal valley , the closest place is the stone house about six and a half kilometers away .
First ascents
In the literature of the early 19th century, the view was widespread that the Löffler is the highest mountain in Tyrol. The Großer Löffler was first climbed on September 12, 1843 by the mining scientist and geologist Markus Vincent Lipold with the Mayrhofen chamois hunter Georg Schneider as a mountain guide from Ginzling through the Floitengrund over the south ridge , which is still regarded as a normal route (easiest climb). On June 27, 1893, Oscar Schuster from Dresden and the guide Heinrich Moser from Mayrhofen climbed the Kleiner Löffler to the northwest from the Greizer Hütte.
Base and easiest ascent
The Greizer Hut at the end of the Floitengrund at an altitude of 2,226 meters serves as a base for ascent via the normal route from the north, the route of the first climber . It can be reached from Ginzling . From the hut, the path leads south-east to the steep, crevice- rich Floitenkees. The path then runs in an easterly direction south below the west ridge . At the highest point of the glacier between Tribbachspitze and Löffler, it then goes left north over the south ridge to the summit in, according to literature, easy climbing at UIAA level I in a total of 3 to 4 hours of walking to the summit. The normal route from the south leads over a yoke-like depression in the west ridge of the Tribbachspitze, which can be reached from the Schwarzensteinhütte or the Kegelgassenalm via the Tribbachkees. From here either over the ridge crossing the Tribbachspitze or northwest past this to the south ridge of the Großer Löffler.
