The Hochgasser is 2922 m above sea level. A. high mountain of the main Alpine ridge in the Granatspitz group on the border of East Tyrol and Salzburg . It is considered the local mountain of the St. Pöltner Hütte and got its name from a lane or wide channel in the west.
location
Hochgasser is located in the north-western central area of the Granatspitzgruppe. It is located on the Tauern main ridge on the border between Tyrol and Salzburg and the communities of Matrei in East Tyrol in the south and Mittersill in the north. The Hochgasser is located between the Weinbichl ( 2556 m above sea level ) in the northwest and the Bärenköpf ( 2863 m above sea level ) in the south, whereby the Weinbichl from Hochgasser through the pass crossing of the Old Tauern ( 2508 m above sea level). ) is separated. To the north, the Bratschenscharte ( 2726 m above sea level ) separates the Hochgasser from the Hörndl ( 2852 m above sea level ). To the west, the Hochgasser forms a broad ridge to the Alten Tauern, while the east slopes steeply to the Amertal and is known as the Hintere Bratschen.
Promotion opportunities
Locals climbed the Hochgasser at an early age. The first ridge crossing to Bärenkopf, like the first ridge crossing to Hörndl, was probably done by Roman Majewski and his companions around 1923. The normal route up the Hochgasser is from the St. Pöltner Hütte over the Alten Tauern on the western ridge, with short safety measures to be passed ( UIAA I ). Other opportunities for ascent are the transition from Hörndl over the Bratschenscharte ( UIAA II ) and the Ostsporn (partly UIAA V ), which A. Hölzl and R. Maurhofer first walked from the Felbertauern tunnel north portal in 1993 .
