The Rietzer Grießkogel (also: Grieskogel ) is 2884 m above sea level. A. the highest mountain of the Northern Sellrainer Mountains , part of the Stubai Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol . It is an easy-to-climb summit along path no. 153. The first documented ascent was undertaken in 1829 by the Innsbruck botanist Andrä Sauter, a brother of Anton Sauter . Due to its easy accessibility on well-marked trails from Telfs in the Inn valley and from the Sellraintal, it is a popular excursion mountain. It takes its name from the town of Rietz in the Imst district in the upper Inn Valley, at its northern foot .
Location and surroundings
The Rietzer Grießkogel is just under eight kilometers as the crow flies south of Telfs, 27 km west of Innsbruck and five kilometers northwest of St. Sigmund im Sellrain . Neighboring peaks in the west are the Bachwandkopf with 2758 meters high, in the northeast the 2798 meters high Hocheder and in the southeast the Schartenkogel with 2603 meters. To the south-west, the Rietzer Grießkogel slopes down from 30 to 50 ° to the Obere Zirmbachalm (2100 m).
geology
From a geological point of view, the northern Sellrainer Mountains belong to the Ötztal Gneiss , which occurs here in the form of rock. Biotite granite gneiss , also known as dark mica , a mixed crystal from the annite-phlogopite series, is particularly rich in this gneiss rock . Since this rock is easily weathered and eroded, for example by frost blasting, the mountains in this area are less rugged and therefore easier to climb in alpine terms.
Bases and paths
The Rietzer Grießkogel is approached from the north from the Peter-Anich-Hütte (1909 m), south above Telfs. Path No. 153 leads in a southerly direction, first over the Bachwandkopf, then along the west ridge to the summit in, according to literature, 3½ hours of walking. From the south you need about 4½ hours for the way from Kühtai or Haggen in the Sellraintal along the Zirmbach over the southwest flank. This climb is also one of the most popular ski tours in the region. Another path leads from Flaurling over the Flaurlinger Alm from the east to the summit.
