Wilder Freiger - Cima Libera

Simply stop and look up at this monolith. From the lake Grünau, which is close to the Sulzenau Hut, you can see the Wilder Freiger (to the north) posing in front of you – as beautiful to look at as his italian name “Cima Libera” sounds. In the back part of Ridnaun in the Stubai Alps, on the borders of Austria and Italy, the Wilder Freiger rises from the main Alpine ridge between Freigerscharte (gap) and Pfaffennieder. The gap of the Pfaffennieder separates it from the Wilde Pfaff and the Zuckerhütl, a 3,418-meter high pyramidal peak of consolidated snow (firn), that demonstrates that it belongs to the “big ones” in the valley and therefore functions a favorite playground for alpine adventurers.
