The Hochvernagtspitze is a 3535 m high mountain in the Ötztal Alps in Tyrol and is located west of the Wildspitze in the Weißkamm . Viewed from the north and south, the mountain forms a sharp-edged trapezoid , from the north with steep ice flanks. From the west there is a 500 meter high rock wall over the Wannetferner . Spitz was first climbed on September 9, 1865 by Franz Senn , Eduard Neurauter and Cyprian Granbichler .
Location and surroundings
The Hochvernagtspitze is located in the Weißkamm, an approximately 20 km long mountain range that runs from south-west to north-east and is surrounded by glaciers . The Sexegertenferner extends to the north, the Große Vernagtferner to the southeast and the Wannetferner to the west . Neighboring mountains are the 3424 meter high Südliche Sexegertenspitze in the northwest , in the northeast, separated by the Sexegertenjoch (3303 m), the 3400 meter high Hochvernagtwand and along the southwest ridge the Schwarzwandspitze with 3466 meters. The nearest major settlement, Vent , is about nine and a half kilometers as the crow flies to the southeast.
Tourist development
The route of the first climbers led from the southeast over the Vernagtferner and is still the easiest ascent today as a normal route , but as an alpine tour it should only be climbed with the appropriate glacier experience and equipment. The Vernagthütte at 2755 meters above sea level can serve as a base ; according to literature, the walking time is four hours. Further climbs lead over the south deck , or in difficult climbing with difficulty level UIAA III over the northwest ridge , which Heinrich Heß and Ludwig Purtscheller first climbed in 1887.
