Breitgrieskarspitze, Mountain summit in Karwendel range, Austria
The Breitgrieskarspitze reaches 2590 meters in elevation, featuring limestone formations and steep rock faces dropping into the Neunerkar cirque.
Hermann von Barth completed the first recorded ascent of Breitgrieskarspitze on August 14, 1870, marking the beginning of mountaineering activities on this peak.
The mountain stands within Alpenpark Karwendel, where traditional Alpine preservation methods maintain the natural environment through specific regulations and restricted access.
Climbers can reach the summit via the Toni Gaugg Höhenweg trail from either Pleisenhütte or Karwendelhaus, with both routes requiring approximately four hours of hiking.
The Breitgrieskarscharte houses an emergency shelter made from a repurposed mountain rescue vehicle cabin, positioned at 2388 meters for unexpected weather changes.
