Torhelm, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

Torhelm is a peak in the Kitzbühel Alps reaching 2,494 meters above sea level. Multiple hiking trails converge here, offering views across the surrounding valleys and alpine terrain.

The wooden summit cross was erected in 1978. Its bronze plaque bears the verse "Schlag ein wenn eine Hand sich gibt, denn Vorsicht braucht es nicht. Der Mensch der seine Berge liebt ist immer grad und schlicht." The cross stands on the 2,494 m summit. Across the Gerlos valley, a smaller mountain is also named Torhelm, a neighbour of the Brandberger Kolm.

The summit stands where three valley heads meet: the Hemergrund closes the Märzengrund, a side valley of the Zillertal; the Wilde Krimml drains via the Krummbach and Gerlostal into the Zillertal; the Lange Grund runs through the Kelchsau into the Brixental. The neighbouring Kreuzjoch reaches 2,558 m.

In summer the summit is reached on hiking trails from the Wilde Krimml and from the Lange Grund; the Wilde Krimml approach drains via the Krummbach and Gerlos valleys. In spring the usual route is a ski tour, with firn descents into the valley normally possible until the end of May.

The summit cross is a large wooden structure erected in 1978, carrying a bronze plaque with a four-line verse: "Schlag ein wenn eine Hand sich gibt, denn Vorsicht braucht es nicht. Der Mensch der seine Berge liebt ist immer grad und schlicht." Across the Gerlos valley stands a smaller mountain also named Torhelm, a neighbour of the Brandberger Kolm.
