The Saile (rarely: Hohe Saile ), also known as the Nockspitze , especially in the Inn Valley , is 2404 m above sea level. A. high mountain southwest of Innsbruck in Tyrol .
Location and surroundings
The Saile forms the north-eastern end of the Kalkkögel and at the same time the entire Stubai Alps . In the south-west the Ampferstein joins after the 1992 m high neck passage . The Axamer Lizum ski area extends to the north-west . To the north of the summit, below the secondary summit Birgitzköpfl ( 1982 m ), lie the villages of Axams , Birgitz and Götzens above the Inn valley . In the northeast, below a 2379 m high pre-summit, with the Pfriemeswand ( 2103 m ), the Pfriemesköpfl ( 1802 m ) and the Spitzmandl ( 2206 m ), there are three other elevations, including the Mutterer Alm ski area and the villages of Mutters and Natters . In the east lies the Wipptal . In the south, behind the Sailenieder crossing ( 1974 m ), the Nederjoch ( 2142 m ) and the Jochkreuz ( 2045 m ) are upstream, below are Fulpmes and Telfes in the Stubai Valley . The municipal areas of Mutters, Götzens and Telfes in the Stubai meet at the summit.
topography
The south and especially the south-east flank of the mountain are relatively flat and covered by alpine grassland , which also serves as pastureland , and in lower elevations by mountain pines . The much steeper north and east sides, on the other hand, are characterized by crags , rock faces and rubble heaps , here the Saile is more similar to the other rocky peaks of the Kalkkögel. From the northeast, it appears with the Spitzmandl and the Pfriemeswand as a striking pyramid and is also shown in this form in the coat of arms of the municipality of Mutters.
geology
From a geological point of view, the Saile sits on a base made of crystalline rock , especially gneiss , which reaches up about 1,600 to 2,000 meters. This is followed by marl and shell limestone and slate of the Raibler layers . The summit structure consists mainly of Wetterstein , but partly also of the main dolomite of the Brenner Mesozoic. Karst phenomena such as sinkholes appear here.
Summit crosses
A summit cross has stood on the pre-summit of the Saile since around 1900 , which was erected by associations or individuals from Mutters. This summit cross was destroyed several times by lightning strikes; The cross was last erected in 2012 by the Mutters young farmers. A summit cross was first erected at the highest point in August 1974 by the Götzens mountain rescue service. Since then, there has been a cross on both the main and the lower summit.
legend
Due to its particularly exposed location, the Saile is considered a weather mountain , i.e. the point where thunderstorms, storms and snowfalls occur. It was therefore seen in folk tales as the main meeting place for the weather witches , who performed their dance at night on the broad summit plateau of the mountain and sent the bad weather into the valley. The weather bell on the church tower of Telfes is said to have often driven the storms to the neighboring village of Kreith . To protect against the storm, processions to the chapel on the Halsl were held regularly.
tourism
Due to its location at the meeting point of three valleys, the Saile is a popular vantage point. It is accessible from the Halsl and the Birgitzköpflhaus with a marked hiking trail on the southwest side. A second path leads from the northeast over the Pfriemeswand and the Spitzmandl to the summit. Another route from the Mutterer Alm over the northeast ridge is much more demanding with a difficulty level of I (UIAA). Climbing routes lead over the Pfriemeswand in III. and IV. Difficulty level. The rock towers on the northwest ridge above Birgitzköpfl are used as a climbing garden . The mountain is part of the Kalkkögel quiet area .
Starting points for climbing the mountain are the Axamer Lizum and the towns of Birgitz , Götzens , Mutters , Telfes and Fulpmes . The bases are the Naturfreundehaus ( 2036 m ) on Birgitzköpfl, the Götzner Alm ( 1542 m ), the Mutterer Alm ( 1608 m ), the Raitiser Alm ( 1553 m ), the Kreither Alm ( 1492 m ) and the Pfarrachalm ( 1740 m ). In winter, the ascent of the Saile is a popular ski tour (especially the east descent over the "Leintuch", which is sometimes at risk of avalanches), in spring a destination for snow gliders .
