Schwemser Spitze, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy.
The Schwemser Spitze rises to 3,459 meters in elevation within the Saldurkamm group of the Ötztal Alps, featuring steep rocky slopes and glacial formations.
On September 2, 1875, climbers J. Hoffmann and Josef Spechtenhauser completed the first documented ascent of Schwemser Spitze through the southern approach.
Local mountaineering traditions incorporate the Schwemser Spitze into annual climbing events, connecting South Tyrolean communities through alpine activities.
Climbers access the summit from Kurzras base camp, following marked paths across the Schwemser glacier to reach the southern peak of the mountain.
The mountain contains multiple geological layers formed during different Alpine periods, revealing the complex tectonic history of the Eastern Rhaetian Alps.
