The Big Five Hike

Wilde Kreuzspitze, Napfspitze, and other peaks.

Have you ever heard of the “Big Five” of the Gitschberg-Jochtal Alpine region? No? Then listen up: The Wilde Kreuzspitze is the main peak of the Pfunderer Mountains. If you want to climb it on a hike in South Tyrol, you’re in for a six-hour trek covering 13 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1,813 meters.

But the ascents to the Napfspitze, the Eidechsspitze, the Seefeldspitze, and the Astjoch are by no means a walk in the park and represent true highlights of a hiking vacation in South Tyrol. Have your cameras ready, because spectacular views await you here—not only from the peaks themselves but also along the route.
