Fuscherkarkopf

Located in the High Tauern range, Fuscherkarkopf reaches an elevation of 3,331 meters with a second peak at 3,252 meters connected by a firn ridge.

The mountain received its first documented ascent in the 1840s by Gregor Maier, a local mountaineer from the village of Fusch known as Badhans.

The mountain name derives from the Fuschertal valley, reflecting the geographical connection between the alpine communities and their surrounding landscape.

Climbers access the summit through the southwest ridge from Hofmanns Hut, following a T5-classified alpine trail that demands advanced mountaineering skills.

The northwest face of Fuscherkarkopf previously supported ice climbing activities, but climate changes have transformed it into an area of loose rock slabs.
