Conquer the highest peak of the Stubai Alps - Zuckerhütle
The Stubai Alps are a mountain range located northwest of Innsbruck in Austria - and they are also the third-highest mountain range in Austria. The peaks border Austria and Italy, and they are known for hiding numerous three-thousanders and various glaciers, including the Stubai Glacier. Our goal will be to ascend three three-thousanders, among which is the highest peak of the Stubai Alps - Zuckerhütl at 3507 meters.

The three-day tour begins in Mojstrana. Together, we'll drive to Austria to the Stubai Valley to the starting point and ascend through the Langental Valley to the Nürnberger Hütte hut (2297 m) on the same day. There, we'll spend the first night after a three-hour ascent. The next day, we'll start the tour towards the summit of the first three-thousander, Wilder Freiger (3418 m), and descend via the Ubeltalferrner glacier to the Müller Hütte hut (3150 m). On the last day, a ridge ascent awaits to the second three-thousander, Wilder Pfapf (3456 m), descent to the Sulzenauferner glacier, and finally, the cherry on top with the ascent to Zuckerhütl (3507 m) - the highest peak of the Stubai Alps, from where we will descend back to the valley. The primary plan is to descend to the valley via the Sulzenauferner glacier, passing the lake of the same name and the hut to the Grawa waterfall (1550 m), while the backup plan includes descent via gondola from the Fernaujoch saddle (3050m) to the lower station in Mutterberg.
