Dreiländerspitze, Alpine summit in Silvretta range, Austria and Switzerland.
Dreiländerspitze is a mountain peak in the Silvretta range where the boundaries of three regions converge at the summit. The top offers panoramic views across the surrounding Alps and the valleys of the neighboring territories.
The peak was first climbed in 1870 by a German mountaineer with local guides. This date marks when the documented exploration of this high mountain area began.
The name refers to where three regions meet at the summit. Visitors can sense the different Alpine traditions and communities below, each with distinct languages and mountain practices.
Climbing requires mountaineering gear, solid rock climbing skills, and alpine experience. Summer months provide the safest window for an ascent when snow and ice are minimal.
The mountain sits on the divide between the Rhine and Danube watersheds, two major European river systems. This geographic location has shaped the region throughout history and gives the site hydrological importance.
