Mountain hikes Furgler (3,004 m) starting from Komperdell

closed
Serfaus / Samnaungruppe
Difficulty ratings: difficult
Route length: 5.2 km
Duration: 4:00 h

Tyroleans are actually very decisive people. But we are simply prone to ridge walks. The Furgler is more difficult via the north ridge, but also much more exciting than via the normal route.

Tour character

Beautiful high mountain tour over the Furglersee lake to the Furgler in the Samnaun group, which offers great views. From the Furglerjoch, access the blocked north ridge, which leads to the summit with moderate climbing and few rope protections. The easier descent via the normal route, which also leads back to the starting point, can also be chosen as a traverse. Basic alpine experience, surefootedness and a head for heights are essential for this alpine mountain tour. If this variant is too difficult for you, you can also choose the normal route on the ascent.

Description

From the Komperdellbahn top station (S201) short and steep ascent northwestwards then gradually ascending in a westerly direction. Identical with Weitwanderweg trail 702 to the Furglersee lake (S211). From the Furglersee lake you ascend westwards through the usually snowy Furglertal valley between the Furgler (left) and Kleiner Furgler (right) over scree to the Furglerjoch (2,748 m, S212). From here, go over the north ridge (sometimes leaving the ridge) in an easy bit of climbing to the summit (S213).
