Purtscheller

Climbing the "Purtscheller" route (graded 4+) on the Winklerturm is a classic alpine experience. This route, known for its exposed positions and enjoyable climbing, provides a good test of skills and endurance for climbers comfortable at this grade. Expect well-protected sections interspersed with runouts that demand confident movement and route finding. The rock is typically solid, but be aware of loose holds, especially in gullies or traverses. The views from the summit of Winklerturm are spectacular, offering a panoramic vista of the surrounding alpine landscape. Be sure to factor in the approach and descent, which can be demanding in their own right, and always check weather conditions before attempting this climb.
