Climbing 'BHW Stage 5: Schönbichler Horn' is a truly rewarding experience for hikers and mountaineers alike. Rated A/B, it's generally a well-trodden hiking path, but expect some steeper sections and potentially mild scrambling or areas where fixed ropes might provide additional security on the final ascent to the summit. It's not a technical climb, but rather a demanding mountain hike that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Zillertal Alps. The ascent requires good physical condition and sure-footedness, but the vistas from the Schönbichler Horn are ample reward for the effort. A classic alpine hiking adventure.
