Those setting off for the upper Sattelkopf can look forward to generous sunshine and an equally generous panoramic view. The consistently south-facing ascent is free of snow earlier in the year than other tours.
Medium-difficulty summit hike on the sunny south side of the Oberinntal valley. From the village of Fiss, the trail leads across alpine meadows and serpentines up to the striking summit cross at 2,596 m, where there are sweeping views over the Oberinntal valley and the surrounding mountains of the Samnaun and Ötztal Alps.
Follow the vehicle track (F129, Jochweg trail), along wonderful mountain meadows to the Lahnewald forest (F118), then go straight ahead to the Möseralm (F113). Now ascend directly in serpentine curves over steep mountain pastures on the broad ridge between the Unteren (S251) and Mittleren Sattelkopf (S250), where the trail to the Komperdell (S103) also turns off. Here turn right on the wide ski slope (F111), but soon you leave it to the left, following the trail to the cable car station at the Mittlerer Sattelkopf (S250). The last steeper part in the terrain has short serpentines, up to the summit 2,596 m (F110, wooden summit cross and summit book to sign in).
