The Schildspitze ( Italian Punta dello Scudo ) is a 3461 m high mountain in the Lasa Mountains of the Ortler Alps , a mountain range in the southern Eastern Alps . It is located in the Italian province of South Tyrol in the Stilfserjoch National Park . To the northeast, south and northwest, the tip sends pronounced and walkable ridges. The Schildspitze is a scenic mountain that is often climbed. The Schildspitze was first climbed on August 8, 1868 by the polar and alpine explorer Julius Payer , the mountain guide Johann Pinggera from Sulden as well as a porter not known by name in the course of a traverse from the Middle Pederspitze ( 3462 m ) to the Hohen Angelus (3521 m) .
Surroundings
The Schildspitze is located between the Martell valley in the southeast, the Suldental in the west and the Lasa valley in the northeast. It was once completely surrounded by glaciers . The most important in the north is the Lasa Glacier , which reaches just below the summit. The Rosimferner extends in the southwest . The southeastern Middle Pederferner fell victim to global warming in the early 2000s .
Neighboring mountains are in the east, connected by the 700 meter long east ridge, the Mittlere Pederspitze and in the further course of the ridge the 3406 m high Outer Pederspitze . The south ridge of the Schildspitze leads over the Schildjoch ( 3392 m ) to the Plattenspitze ( 3422 m ). The highest mountain in the area, the Vertainspitze ( 3545 m ), lies on the other side of the Rosimjoch path crossing , at an altitude of 3288 m , in the course of the Schildspitzen northwest ridge . To the southwest, the area around the peak drops into the upper Suldental , to the north into the Lasa valley . The closest settlement is the winter sports resort Sulden, which is about five kilometers to the west as the crow flies . The most important place in the area, Lasa in Vinschgau , is about 10 kilometers north-northeast.
Base and ascent
The path from Payer, Pinggera and the hunters not named by name in 1868 led at 4:45 am from the Untere Marteller Alpe to the southeast , where the Pedertal branches off from the Martell Valley, at an altitude of around 2061 meters, up over the Middle Pederferner to the summit of the Middle Pederspitze, which, according to Payer's original report , was reached at 8:30 a.m. After completing several hours of cartographic recording is increased by 1 U. 30 , reaching through the shield tip-east ridge to Schildspitze summit by 2 U. There you obviously did not last long and put the way across the Rosimjoch and Laas addition to the high Angelus continues .
From the rear of the Martell valley, a path now free of glaciers leads past the dilapidated Schildhütte to the Schildjoch ( 3392 m ) and from there over an easy ridge of rubble and snow to the summit in a good 4 hours.
In addition, the Schildspitze can be climbed from the Düsseldorfer Hütte at an altitude of 2721 m in the upper Zay valley. This path leads from the north as an alpine tour with appropriate equipment and glacier experience from the hut in an easterly direction over the Zayferner up to the Angelusscharte ( 3337 m ). Over the Lasa also it goes to the Rosimjoch and over the northwest ridge in easy climbing with difficulty level UIAA I to the summit. According to the literature, the walking time is about 5 hours. From the Laaser Hütte ( 2047 m ) to the north, the route to the Rosimjoch is a bit shorter.
