Grosser Hafner, Mountain summit in Hohe Tauern, Austria.

Grosser Hafner reaches an elevation of 3,076 meters and features three glaciers across its north, west, and east faces within the Ankogel Group.

The first documented climb of Grosser Hafner occurred in 1825 when military cartographer Lieutenant Gorizzuti reached the summit during mapping expeditions.

The mountain area transformed from a historical mining region into a modern hydropower generation center, marked by the construction of Kölnbrein Dam.

Climbers can start their ascent from Malta Valley, following marked trails to Kattowitzer Hütte at 2,319 meters before taking the southwest ridge route.

As the easternmost three-thousander peak in the High Tauern range, Grosser Hafner stands as the final Alpine summit with 300-meter prominence heading east.
