Kalkwand

Description of mountain:
Kalkwand is a wide mountain in the eastern part of Habicht group in the main area of Stubai Alps. Because of an attractive view, less difficult path and proximity of Innsbrucker Hütte, which is the starting point for the ascent on popular Habicht, Kalkwand quite well visited. From the diagonal path below it, to the top there is only few minutes of ascent, so to the top often ascend also the mountaineers, who otherwise continue towards boldly Ilmspitze, on which leads the famous, moderately demanding ferrata.
Probably the greatest charm of Kalkwand is revealed in a unique view, which is the nicest especially on mighty Habicht and sharp Ilmspitze, between which there is also a connective massif. Worth mentioning are also the views, which are descending almost 1500 meters deep into the valley Gschnitztal.
Short trip on Kalkwand can be a pleasant spice of (two-day) tour on Habicht, and it can also be a midway point on the path on Ilmspitze or its little easier alternative.
