Agglsspitze, Mountain summit in Brenner, Italy.
Agglsspitze, also called Cima dell'Accla, reaches 3,196 meters and sits within the Brenner mountain range in the South Tyrolean Alps. The summit can be reached through multiple marked routes that cross varied alpine terrain including gorges, glacier sections, and high plateaus.
This peak formed as part of the Alpine geological development and has been crossed by local herders and mountaineers for centuries. Its two names reflect the territorial divide between German-speaking and Italian-speaking mountain communities that existed historically in South Tyrol.
Visitors walking this route experience the local tradition of alpine exploration that has shaped the region for generations. The bilingual naming reflects how mountain culture here naturally blends German and Italian heritage.
Mountaineers need proper alpine gear and experience with glaciers and exposed terrain before attempting this climb. Summer months offer the best conditions when snow has melted and routes are easiest to follow.
From the summit, visitors can see the Forcella di Montarso, a natural mountain pass at 3,110 meters that shapes the landscape around it. This saddle point reveals the sculpting force of centuries of weather and ice in the high mountains.
