Reifhorn, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria
Reifhorn is a 2,488-meter peak in the Lofer Mountains with a mix of rocky sections and steep terrain requiring climbing skills. The routes cross varied ground with both exposed ridges and protected passages.
The peak was explored and developed by mountaineers over the past century as they established multiple routes. Mountain huts in the area were built to support climbing activities.
Local mountaineering traditions center around seasonal ascents of Reifhorn, where experienced climbers gather to test their skills on different routes.
The peak is reached from the parking area near mountain huts after a trail through forested and open slopes. Proper footwear and rock climbing experience are needed for the summit sections.
The Northwest ridge of the West face combines unsecured climbing passages with modern protection systems creating a technical challenge. This route appeals to experienced climbers seeking mixed climbing styles.
