Östliche Marzellspitze, Alpine summit in Ötztal Alps, Austria.

The Östliche Marzellspitze is a 3,550 m summit on the Schnalskamm ridge of the Ötztal Alps, standing exactly on the border between Tyrol and South Tyrol. It forms a shoulder on the southwest ridge of the Hintere Schwärze, separated from it by a shallow notch. The Marzellferner lies to the northwest and the Schalfferner to the northeast; the southern slopes drop into the Pfossental.

The first documented ascent took place on July 24, 1872, when Hans Pinggera and V. Hecht reached the summit. This early climb represents part of the 19th-century Alpine exploration period.

The name Marzellspitze refers to the three Marzell peaks, of which this eastern summit is the highest. Its Italian name is Punta di Marzèl Est. The south-facing slopes above the Pfossental lie within the Naturpark Texelgruppe, and the summit itself stands on the marked Austrian-Italian state border.

Visitors need advanced mountaineering skills and complete climbing equipment for the technical ascent. Weather conditions at this altitude can change quickly, so flexibility with planning is important.

The Östliche Marzellspitze is really a shoulder on the southwest ridge of the Hintere Schwärze (3,624 m), separated from it only by a weakly marked notch. The 1872 first ascensionists crossed it on their way to the Hintere Schwärze, reaching that summit after a good eight hours from the Pfossental.
