The Napfspitze (also Dreiecketer , Italian Cima Cadini ) is a 3144  m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Zillertal main ridge and lies on the border between the Austrian state of Tyrol and the Italian province of South Tyrol . It is climbed far less often than the two slightly higher, better-known neighboring peaks in the main ridge, the Wollbachspitze (3209 m) in the west and the Rauchkofel (3251 m) in the east. The notches to these higher neighbors are cut relatively deep, so that the Napfspitze with more than 600 meters notch height is a very independent summit.

location

The Napfspitze is north of St. Peter in the Ahrntal and south of the Zillergrund . The summit sends out four ridges. In addition to the southwest and the northeast ridge, which form the main ridge branches off to the north of the long Riblerkamm from two more Graterhebungen lie in its course over the 3000-meter limit (3103 m and south 3095 meters, the latter is also Hohewarte called ). The fourth ridge is the south ridge, which separates the Walcherbachtal with the Walcherbachsee in the west from the Grießbachtal with the Grießbachsee in the east. On the north-east side there is a small glacier, the Grießbachjochkees .

Alpinism

The Napfspitze was first climbed by Reinhold Seyerlen with guide Stephan Kirchner on July 15, 1880, they reached the summit via the south ridge.

There are various climbs, all of them are relatively long, long stretches of which there are no trails and are rarely climbed. The easiest ascent leads from the Feuchtenberger Hof (1503 m) above the hamlet “in der Marche” over the uncultivated Feuchtenbergalm and Kapehlalm to the Walcherbachsee. From Walcherbachsee, keep in the direction of the Napfjoch (2818 m), where you reach the south-western ridge of the mountain. This is an easy climb to the summit ( I to II ). From the same starting point you can also reach the Grießbachjoch via the Grießbachtal and past the lake of the same name. From there the ascent leads over the northeast ridge, which, however, has an exposed climbing area. Another option is the south ridge, which can be reached from both the Walcherbach and Grießbachtal valleys.

Another ascent, from the north from the Zillergrund, starts at the inn in the Au. It goes long south through the Sundergrund on the marked path towards Mitterjoch. You leave this path at the point where the hiking trail turns from east to south and climb through the debris-strewn block area of ​​the Napfklamm and a steep sandy step to the southwest ridge and over it to the summit. Allow 5 to 7 hours for this long ascent.
