Hochwand, Mountain summit in Mieming Range, Austria
Hochwand rises to 2,719 meters above sea level, featuring a north face that drops 1,300 meters into the Gaistal valley.
Hermann von Barth accomplished the first recorded ascent of Hochwand in 1873, establishing the initial climbing route to the summit.
The mountain serves as a reference point for alpine climbing techniques, demonstrating the traditional mountaineering practices of the Tyrolean region.
Climbers access the summit through Wildermieming village, with the Neue Alplhütte mountain hut at 1,863 meters providing shelter during ascents.
The mountain ranks fifth in height among 125 peaks within the Mieminger Chain, offering technical climbing challenges from every approach angle.
