Rainerhorn

The Rainerhorn reaches an elevation of 3,559 meters and features three glaciers: Schlatenkees on the north, Inneres Mullwitzkees southwest, and Ausseres Mullwitzkees southeast.

The mountain became a significant climbing destination after its first recorded ascent during the mid-19th century, leading to established routes and growing mountaineering interest.

The summit serves as a central point for Austrian alpine sports, connecting multiple mountain huts that maintain traditional hospitality for climbers throughout the season.

Climbers can access the peak via two main routes: a 2-hour climb from Defregger hut over Rainertörl or a 3-hour ascent from Neue Prager hut.

The mountain's location near Grossvenediger creates opportunities for multi-peak expeditions, with many climbers incorporating both summits in their alpine adventures.
