Hochalmspitze, Alpine summit in Hohe Tauern National Park, Austria.
The granite peak of Hochalmspitze rises to 3,360 meters, featuring multiple glaciers and creating numerous mountain lakes at lower elevations.
Paul Grohmann completed the first documented climb to the summit in 1859, though evidence suggests Josef Moritz made an earlier attempt in 1855.
The mountain holds the nickname 'Tauern Queen' in relation to Grossglockner, which locals refer to as the 'Tauern King'.
Climbers can access the summit through four main approaches, with Giessener Huette serving as the primary base for expeditions from the south.
The mountain ranks first among 450 peaks in the Ankogel Group and stands as number 53 out of 3,311 in the Western Tauern Alps.
