Hoher Tenn

Hoher Tenn is a summit in the Glockner Group standing at 3,368 meters with multiple climbing routes across its steep rock formations and alpine terrain. The peak sits within a mountain region featuring glaciers and high alpine meadows that shape the surrounding landscape.

The mountain served as a training ground for climbers and mountaineers in the Austrian Alpine tradition since the 19th century. Its steep slopes and challenging terrain made it an important site for passing on climbing skills across multiple generations.

Local mountaineering clubs maintain several shelters near Hoher Tenn, preserving traditional Alpine climbing practices and mountain safety protocols for generations.

Climbers should start their ascent early in the day, especially when accessing the route via the mountain railway from Mooserboden. Check local weather conditions and trail conditions in advance, as the route requires alpine experience and appropriate climbing equipment.

A via ferrata climbing route crosses the mountain with overhanging rock sections that require advanced technical climbing skills and specialized equipment. This metal-secured pathway runs along steep faces, offering a technically demanding alternative to standard climbing routes.
