The cutting (also cutting point , cutting edge ) is a 2009  m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Austrian part of the Allgäu Alps .

Location and surroundings

The mountain , located in the Tannheimer Berge subgroup , forms the northern end point of a short ridge that runs north from the Gaichtspitze ( 1986  m ) over the Hahnenkamm ( 1938  m ) and is perpendicular to the main ridge of the Tannheimer Berge. To the south, the Hochjoch ( 1754  m ) separates the Schneid from the Ditzl ( 1817  m ), in the northwest lies the Sabachjoch ( 1860  m ), which goes over to the Kelleschrofen ( 2091  m ) on the Kellespitze ( 2238  m ). The Schneid is connected to the Gehrenspitze ( 2163  m ) via the Gehrenjoch ( 1858  m ) . The flanks of the Schneid drop to the southwest into the Tannheimer Tal , to the north into the short Sabach valley and to the southeast into the Lech valley .

The district on which most of the Schneid is located is Wängle , the border to the municipality of Musau in the north runs over the summit .

geology

In the area of ​​the cutting tip one can observe a thrust of the Allgäu layers through the Lech valley cover . This begins at the Hochjoch. Ascending northwards, a fold made of Wetterstein limestone , Raibler layers and main dolomite can be observed. Given by the fold, the main dolomite is followed by Raibler layers and Wetterstein limestone. This is followed by two layers of Partnach layers , which are interrupted by shell limestone . The top-forming Wetterstein limestone, which continues north to the main peaks, is deposited on top.

Origin of name

The Schneid was first mentioned in 1880 on a map of Austria as Schneid Sp. The name is derived from the grass ridge that extends to the west . Such a "cutting" is used in Bavarian for sharp burrs. Thaddäus Steiner therefore assumes that the use with the Schneid has its westernmost branch, since Egg was otherwise used in the Allgäu . In the Tannheimer Tal, on the other hand, it was named because of the shape of a church.

Ascent

The base for climbing the Schneid is the mountain station of the Reutten Hahnenkammbahn , from where the path leads over the Tiefjoch and the Ditzl to the southwest flank of the Schneid and into the Sabachjoch. The north-west ridge to the summit, which begins here and has a climbing system, requires surefootedness , with variants directly at the edge of the ridge, places up to level II are possible. The Sabachjoch can also be reached from the Sabachtal and the Tannheimer Tal, and the ascent from the Gimpelhaus ( 1659  m ) and the Tannheimer Hütte ( 1730  m ) is also possible. The ascent of the Schneid over the Gehrenjoch, north flank and east ridge is not difficult. Access to the Gehrenjoch is from the Sabach valley, the Lech valley or from the mountain station.

On the southern flank there is a short, approximately 50 meter long climb (IV +), which Koch first climbed in 1980.

In winter, the Schneid can be climbed as a ski tour through the Raintal and Sabach Valley.
