Odkryj Klockerkarscharte
The Klockerkarscharte (2.798 m a.s.l.), located in the heart of the Fundres Mountains in the Zillertal Alps, is one of the wildest and most spectacular alpine passes in South Tyrol. This pass connects the Valles Valley to the Vizze Valley, crossing high-altitude environments characterized by scree fields, glacial lakes and rocky ridges, in a context of absolute solitude and natural beauty.
The Klockerkarscharte is a key stage of the famous Fundres High Trail (Pfunderer Höhenweg), a 70 km trek divided into 6 stages, connecting Sterzing to Falzes. The route, reserved for experienced hikers, winds constantly above 2,000 meters in altitude and features exposed sections, rock passages, metal cables and steep trails. The area lacks tourist infrastructure, with distant huts and isolated alpine huts, making the experience authentic and adventurous.
Among the most striking destinations along the route are the Wilder See (Wild Lake), the Brixner Hütte (Brixen Hut) and the Wilde Kreuzspitze (White Peak, 3.135 m), which dominates the landscape with its grandeur. The view from the Klockerkarscharte spans the Dolomites, the Ortles and even the Marmolada.
From a cultural standpoint, the pass preserves historical traces linked to transhumance and natural borders between valleys. Alpine huts such as the Labesebenalm and the Simile Mahd Alm bear witness to the farming tradition and simple hospitality of South Tyrol.
