Karlesspitze, Mountain summit in Ötztal Alps, Italy and Austria
The Cima di Quaira rises to an elevation of 3,462 meters, marking a natural border between South Tyrol in Italy and Tyrol in Austria.
The mountain peak has served as a geographical boundary marker since the establishment of borders between Austria and Italy following World War I.
Local mountaineering traditions from both Italian and Austrian sides have developed distinct climbing routes and techniques to reach the summit of Cima di Quaira.
Climbers can access the mountain from either Sölden in Austria or Schnals in Italy, with multiple established routes requiring advanced alpine climbing experience.
The summit provides simultaneous views of two different countries' territories, offering perspectives of both the Italian Dolomites and Austrian Alpine ranges.
