Malhamspitzen, Mountain summit in High Tauern National Park, Austria
Malhamspitzen is a mountain group in the High Tauern with four separate summits ranging from 3255 to 3368 meters in elevation. The peaks sit in the Maurerkamm region and are surrounded by glacial terrain.
The first documented ascent occurred in 1873 when a Prague mountaineer and his guide climbed the west flank. Since then the region has become an established destination for serious alpine climbers.
The Malhamspitzen peaks form part of Austria's mountaineering heritage, attracting climbers who seek to conquer summits above 3,000 meters in the Alps.
Climbing these peaks requires experience in high-altitude mountaineering and glacier travel, as the ascent crosses glaciated terrain. Proper equipment and often a professional guide are necessary for a safe experience.
The four summits are separated by small saddles that create a distinctive profile against the alpine sky. This arrangement makes the peaks an interesting target for climbers seeking multiple ascents in a single outing.
