Persailhorn

The Persailhorn peak rises to an elevation of 2,347 meters, featuring steep rock faces and multiple climbing routes through the Berchtesgaden Alps.

The mountain became a documented climbing destination when the Via Ferrata Persailhorn South route was established to connect the surrounding peaks of the Hochkönig region.

The mountain serves as a gathering point for climbers who follow local Alpine traditions of early morning ascents and sharing meals at mountain huts.

Climbers need specialized equipment including harnesses and helmets to navigate the fixed cables and ladders along the south face route.

The Peter-Wiechenthaler mountain hut, located 1,254 meters west-northwest of the summit, provides shelter and supplies for mountaineers throughout the climbing season.
