The Zuckerhütl is at 3507 m above sea level. A. the highest mountain in the Stubai Alps , Tyrol . It is located entirely in North Tyrol near the border with South Tyrol .
The Zuckerhütl was named after its graceful shape that is visible from the entrance to the Stubai Valley . From the east it appears as a bold snow horn with the character of a sugar loaf, from the west it appears rocky, raw and forbidding. The north side, covered by ice and firn, is increasingly visible through the glacier retreat.
West of the Zuckerhütl is the Pfaffenschneide ( 3498 m ), the southeastern neighbor of the Zuckerhütl is the Wilde Pfaff ( 3456 m ), over which it is often climbed - this is the route via the Nürnberger Hütte and the Müllerhütte . There are also frequent ascent routes via the Hildesheimer Hütte , the Sulzenauhütte (risk of falling rocks) and from the Stubai Glacier ski area . From all these starting points, the summit structure is usually climbed via the east ridge from the Pfaffensattel ( 3344 m ), the saddle between Zuckerhütl and Wilder Pfaff, with difficulty level I. A variant with difficulty level II leads from the east ridge to the south flank. Further, less frequently used climbs run through the south face (IV), over the Pfaffenschneide and through the 60 ° steep, icy north face.
Long before there were regular surveys, the Habicht ( 3277 m ) was thought to be the highest mountain in the Stubai Alps due to its exposed location .
The film Summit Cross from 1948, which is shown from time to time in Fulpmes, is about the first summit cross on the Zuckerhütl (built in 1947) . In addition to the story of its creation, the film also includes spectacular images during a storm in the Sulzenaufern icefall . In 2001 the cross fell over and lay damaged on the floor until a newspaper letter to the editor drew attention to this condition. The mountain guides in Neustift then took the initiative and erected a completely new summit cross.
