Goldkappl

The Goldkappl peak rises to an elevation of 2,793 meters within the Stubai Alps, marking a natural border between Tyrol and South Tyrol.

During the 19th century, the mountain region attracted miners seeking precious metals, leading to the name Goldkappl which translates to little gold.

The mountain stands as a testament to Tyrolean alpine traditions, where local communities maintain centuries-old practices of mountain stewardship and seasonal celebrations.

Hikers access the summit through marked trails from Neustift im Stubaital, with the Tribulaunhütte and Magdeburger Hütte offering rest points along the routes.

The mountain hosts numerous alpine species including chamois and marmots, while birds of prey circle the thermal currents around its peak.
