Großer Sonnblick, Alpine summit in Hohe Tauern, Austria

The Großer Sonnblick rises to 3,030 meters in the Ankogel Group, featuring steep rocky slopes and commanding views across the surrounding mountain ranges.

The mountain gained recognition in the 16th century when gold mining activities flourished in its vicinity, preceding the mineral discoveries in South America.

The Gmünder Hut at the base of Großer Sonnblick maintains traditional Alpine hospitality, serving as a starting point for mountaineers throughout generations.

The ascent from Gmünder Hut requires 5 to 6 hours of hiking through forest tracks, grassy slopes, and a final rocky ridge to reach the summit.

As the easternmost 3,000-meter peak in the Alps with over 100 meters prominence, the mountain presents an isolation distance of 2,820 meters from Großer Hafner.
