Schneewinkelspitze, Alpine summit in Hohe Tauern, Austria
The Schneewinkelspitze rises to an elevation of 3016 meters, featuring steep slopes and connecting the Hochalmspitze to the northeast with Saeuleck to the southwest.
The mountain gained prominence among alpinists during the early exploration of the Hohe Tauern range, leading to the establishment of multiple climbing routes to its peak.
The Giessener Huette mountain shelter near Schneewinkelspitze represents the traditional Alpine hospitality, providing refuge to mountaineers from July through September.
Climbers access the summit through established routes from the Seebachtal valley, with optimal climbing conditions occurring between July and October.
The mountain's position between two higher peaks creates a natural corridor that channels specific wind patterns, affecting local weather conditions throughout the year.
