Vorderer Tajakopf, Mountain summit in Imst District, Austria.
Vorderer Tajakopf is a mountain summit in the Mieming Range rising to 2450 meters. The peak displays a prominent north-south ridge marked by limestone outcrops and deep gullies carved into its slopes.
The summit was first climbed on August 16, 1894, by mountaineers O. v. Unterrichter, J. Gampl, and G. Beyrer. This early ascent marks an important moment in the climbing history of the region.
The mountain name reflects the Germanic alpine naming tradition, incorporating geographical features and local terminology into its designation.
The climb starts near Coburger Hut on trail 812 heading toward Hintere Taja Törl. The final section to the summit involves rocky terrain and demands sure-footedness and a head for heights.
A via ferrata route runs along the western flank and was installed in 2000. This secured climbing path offers views toward Seebensee and provides more technical climbing options beyond the standard trail.
