The Schweikert is a 2879 m (according to other information 2881 m ) high mountain in the Kaunergrat in the Ötztal Alps , in the Austrian state of Tyrol . It is the second highest point in the Hochrinnegg massif ( double peaks with 3067 and 3027 m ). Due to its easy accessibility from the Verpeilhütte , it is a popular tour destination. The first documented first tourist ascent was made in 1893 by S. Simon.
Location and surroundings
The Schweikert is located in the east-west ridge of the Hochrinnegg massif , a mountain group north of the Verpeiltal , a side valley branching off east of the Kaunertal. The neighboring mountain in the east is the Hochrinnegg with its double summit. To the north, the Schweikert falls into the Gsalltal , to the south into the Verpeiltal and to the west into the Kaunertal. The closest permanently settled place is Feichten in the Kaunertal , which is about two kilometers as the crow flies in a west-southwest direction.
Tourist development
As a base for an ascent of Schweikert on 2,025 meters of altitude is east of Feichten in Verpeiltal lying Verpeilhütte, from which the top in about 2½ hours walking in some heavily exposed hike in difficulty UIAA I can be reached. There are climbing routes of difficulty UIAA III to IV on the northwest ridge . A drilled sport climbing route named Wiesa Jaggl , with 12 pitches and key points in the UIAA level VII, was opened by Florian Schranz and Matthias Ragg of 2004.
