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 road (F129, Jochweg) along beautiful mountain meadows to the Lahnewald (F118), then straight on to the Möseralm (F113). Now ascend directly in serpentines over steep mountain pastures to the ridge between the Unterer (S251) and Mittlerer Sattelkopf (S250), where the path to Komperdell (S103) also branches off. Continue right here on the wide ski trail (F111), which you soon leave again to the left and follow the trail to the lift station at the Mittlerer Sattelkopf (S250). Follow the last, somewhat steeper ascent in short hairpin bends up to the summit at 2,596 m (F110).
