Tour Tschigat

Saturday 20 July 2002

Route: Starting from Tirol we took the cable car to the Hochmut, and walked to the Oberkaser using the Jägersteig. We passed the Langsee and climbed the Große Rötelspitze, at 2295m. After a long and deserved rest we returned to the Langsee and walked up to the Milchseen (milk lakes) and then walked up to the Milchseescharte (2688m). Here we bivouacked in a place resembling more a box of cookies rather than a refuge.

Route: We got up at 4AM, managed somehow to find the Hals-Jöchl (2808m) in the dark, and climbed up to the top of the Mount Tschigat (2998m). Then we returned via the Kamin to the Milchseen and returned to Tirol through Sprons valley.
