Osterfelderkopf, Alpine summit in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
Osterfelderkopf is a summit in the Wetterstein group of the Bavarian Alps, standing at 2,057 meters high. From the upper cable car station, visitors can access multiple hiking routes and via ferrata paths that lead into the surrounding mountain terrain.
The mountain grew more interesting to climbers in the second half of the 1800s as early paths were opened. The cable car system built in the mid-1900s changed how people could reach the peak and made it accessible to more visitors.
The mountain sits along routes used by climbers and hikers who walk the ridges and take in the views. The paths here connect to a long tradition of mountaineering in Bavaria that continues to draw visitors from around the world.
The cable car provides an easy way to reach the upper station where hikes and routes begin. Arriving early in the morning helps you avoid crowds and experience better weather conditions.
The north face features challenging via ferrata routes like the Mauerläufersteig, where climbers are secured with steel cables and iron pins. These paths appeal to experienced mountaineers looking for a real test of their skills.
