| Flimspitze 2,929 m |
| The frequently climbed Flimspitze with its striking summit cross
can now be reached even more easily from the Flimjochbahn top station
(Idjochbahn top station) and the Flimsattel-bahn top station, thanks
to the new climbing trail.
At a height of nearly 3,000 metres above sea level, the Flimspitze
is the highest elevation in the area. The 360° view from the
rocky, exposed peak is stunning!
The round tour starting from the Flimjochbahn top station with a
relatively short access path to the rope route seems especially
worthwhile. The rope route with a continuous steel safety rope leads
all the way up to the Flimspitze summit. From there you descend
over an easy ordinary path north up to an anticline and then head
in a western direction via a well-developed and marked trail back
to Idalpe.
Generally no self securings are required for sure-footed walkers
free of giddiness, however, we recommend a short safety rope for
children and unsteady climbers.

for children and unsteady climbers basic climbing equipment
is required |
| Route: |
from the Flimjochbahn station, head northwards on a marked
route. After about 400 m, turn off to the right and continue
until you are beneath the distinctive rock plateau and reach
the start. Cross the sloping plateau until you are almost below
the ridge. Follow the ex-posed ridge along on the south side
and cross easy ter-rain to the summit. |

Description of the climbing
trail
|
|
| Characteristics/General: |
relatively short but very exposed and steep route
that is well
worth a go. It is brand-new and has all the latest safety features
for climbing trails, including a continuous steel safety rope
as well as sufficient hand and foot holds. This makes it suitable
for experienced children and adults with less experience but
we recommend you to climb roped together. |
| Level of difficulty: |
B, short stretches C |
| Route length/time required: |
200 m, 30 to 45 min. |
| Village in the valley: |
Ischgl, 1,350 m |
| Trailhead: |
Idjochbahn top station at 2,770 m
easily accessible with the Silvretta and the Idjoch ropeway
in approx. 45 min. |
| Access – 20 min: |
from the Idjochbahn top station head in a south-easterly direc-tion
to the end of the ski trail. From there hike over the well-marked
rope route to the start – blue markings. The start is
lo-cated directly on the offshoot of the Greitspitze’
western ridge. |

| Level of difficulty ratings for climbing trails |
B = Medium difficulty
Somewhat steeper rock terrain with small-stepped, exposed passages
in parts. Vertical, longer ladders, iron grips, treads or chains.
Some passage are demanding and strenuous. Without securings the rock
technical level of difficulty can be between 2nd and 3rd level. Many
expert mountaineers use basic climbing equipment. For beginners and
children climb-ing equipment is definitely recommended and on longer
climbs a short safety rope
|
| |
C = Difficult
Steep to very steep rock terrain. Mostly small-stepped passages, which
are almost always exposed. Overhanging ladders, ice grips and treads,
which may be somewhat further apart (especially for smaller people
and children). Often vertical sections, secured only with steel cable.
In parts very strenuous. Without securings many passages would be
rated 3rd or 4th level of difficulty. Longer upward climbs at this
level rank amongst the grand climbing tours. Beginners and children
are recommended to have rope securings to an experienced partner.
Self-securings also recommended for experienced climbers. |
