ABOUT THE TOUR
Wilder Freiger, Wilder Pfaff and Zuckerhütl in one push – a major alpine tour through the impressive glacier world of the Stubai Alps.
3 days · Difficulty PD, II, 40°
Wilder Freiger, Pfaff and Zuckerhütl – the long approach from Ridnaun to the Müllerhütte and the Becherhaus is best forgotten by combining three outstanding summits of the Stubai Alps on this high-alpine tour.
We travel through one of the most beautiful and impressive glacier landscapes still found in the Eastern Alps. Add to that an overnight stay in South Tyrol’s highest mountain hut, a sunrise straight from your bed, and no fewer than two huts known for their excellent food and wonderful hosts. What more could you want?

PROGRAM
Day 1: Approach to the Müllerhütte
We meet at the car park at the end of the valley in Ridnaun, by the former mine. After a short gear check, we begin the long but scenically very beautiful and varied ascent to the Müllerhütte. Passing several huts – Aglsbodenalm, Grohmannhütte and Teplitzerhütte – we continue deeper into the valley to the south flank of the Becher, whose summit is crowned by the Becherhaus. Skirting the rock, we reach the Übeltalferner and continue across the glacier to the hut. In total, it is almost 13 kilometres and 1,800 vertical metres just to the hut – a long first day, but truly rewarding in terms of scenery.
Walking time: 7 h | ↑ 1,800 m
⌂ Müllerhütte (3,145 m)
Day 2: Pfaff and Zuckerhütl
On the second day, we start along the ridge to the Wilder Pfaff, descend beyond it to the Pfaffensattel, and continue over snow, ice or rock up to the Zuckerhütl. The descent follows our line of ascent back to the Müllerhütte, where we collect our things and continue on to the Becherhaus, the highest mountain refuge in South Tyrol. A big day with plenty of high-alpine character and a truly beautiful traverse between two huts.
↑ 650 m | ↓ 600 m | Difficulty: PD, II, 40°
⌂ Becherhaus (3,195 m)
Day 3: Wilder Freiger and descent
On the third day, Wilder Freiger is still on the programme. It can be reached from the Becherhaus in about 1.5 hours. After a good rest on the summit, we get ready for the long descent back to Ridnaun, where we will have plenty of time to look back on the past two days. A fitting finale to this grand circuit over three well-known summits of the Stubai Alps.
↑ 250 m | ↓ 2,050 m | Difficulty: PD
Any changes to the program that may be necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, accommodation booking situation, etc.) will always be made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - (FAQs)
Who is this alpine tour suitable for?
The tour is suitable for sure-footed, fit mountaineers with good stamina and ideally some initial experience on high-alpine tours. The combination of a long approach, glacier travel and three summits calls for a solid mountain day without haste.
What equipment do I need?
The exact packing list will be sent with the confirmation email. Most important are suitable mountaineering boots and clothing for high-alpine terrain. Technical equipment can be hired from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.
How strenuous are the three days?
The first day is already a serious start with the long ascent, and the following two days also remain demanding. But if you enjoy long days in the high mountains and are looking forward to a real high-alpine tour, this is exactly the right choice.
