🚶♂️ 10-20' - ⛰️ 1300 MSL - 🧭 NESW - ☀️ according to boulder orientation
Breitlahner Wald is an important boulder area of Zillertal having many great boulders spreaded between the Breitlahner Hutte and the Berliner Hutte. We also joined the Klausenalm sector which is just a few minutes further away.
One who is confident with the 6B-7B range will have a great time in this area, but there is also some easier and harder stuff.
Boulders have a good friction granite rock and the landings are generally good and can be protected with few pads.
Originally there was a huge forest around the boulders, making them really shady. The forest has been destroyed and the boulders get a lot of sun (some old boulders are actually no more accessible, but locals are pushing hard to remove the fallen trees and we hope that the area will be as new in the near future). The fresh wind blowing in the valley and the altitude of 1300 meters above sea level generally allow climbing also during warm days, but best friction remains during the mid seasons.
This topo reports also the historics Dolby surround and Ganja sectors. The first faces North, is just above a stream and has two extreme overhanging sport routes. The second features some of the best cracks in Zillertal, but you have to come here during the winter since it faces South and its black rock becomes really hot.
During the year, some boulders in the Klausenalm area could be fenced by the owner of the land. Please respect this constraint.
If you have not already read some descriptions about Zillertal, here are some notes: it is one of the wildest valleys South of Inn in Tyrol and it is a great destination for climbing, thanks to the huge amount of bouldering and sport areas (50+ sport and bouldering sectors, collecting thousands of lines!).
It is drained by the Ziller River and lies in the strongly glaciated Zillertal Alps. One can appreciate the view of the Tux Alps on the West, while the lower grass peaks of the Kitzbühel Alps on the East.
Among the other valleys in Tyrol, this one is the most visited by tourists and its largest settlement is Mayrhofen. What makes Zillertal one of the leading destinations in the Alps is its offer of a healthy mix of adventure, enjoyment and relaxation.
