Weiße Spitze, Mountain peak in Villgraten Mountains, Austria
The Weiße Spitze reaches an elevation of 2,962 meters, standing as the highest mountain in the Villgraten Mountains of East Tyrol with steep slopes.
The mountain had its first documented ascent by mountaineer J. Erlsbacher on August 25, 1894, marking the beginning of systematic climbing in this part of Austria.
The mountain plays a central role in regional traditions, with local communities often referring to it differently than official maps, reflecting their deep connection.
The hiking route begins at Oberstaller Alm at 1,820 meters, covering 7.9 kilometers through gravel paths and includes block climbing near the summit.
The mountain shares a peculiar naming situation with neighboring Rote Spitze, as local inhabitants sometimes interchange their names despite official designations.
