Wurmtaler Kopf, Mountain summit in Ötztal Alps, Austria
The Wurmtaler Kopf rises to an elevation of 3,255 meters, featuring steep ridges and extensive views across the Kaunergrat mountain range landscape.
The summit gained recognition among mountaineers during the early development of Austrian alpine tourism in the late 19th century through the Pitztal valley.
The mountain reflects traditional Alpine mountaineering culture, where local guides pass their knowledge of climbing routes through generations of outdoor enthusiasts.
Climbers can start their ascent using the cable car from Mandarfen to 2,200 meters or choose a longer route beginning directly from the valley floor.
A bivouac shelter positioned 30 meters below the peak provides emergency accommodation for mountaineers facing unexpected weather conditions during their climb.
