Vogelkarspitze

The Vogelkarspitze rises to 2,522 meters above sea level, marking a natural boundary between Tyrol, Austria and Bavaria, Germany within the Karwendel mountain chain.

The mountain paths and climbing routes around Vogelkarspitze were established during the early 20th century, contributing to the development of Alpine mountaineering traditions.

Local communities in Scharnitz and Mittenwald maintain mountain shelters and organize guided expeditions, preserving traditional Alpine climbing practices throughout the seasons.

Climbers can access Vogelkarspitze through marked trails starting from Karwendelhaus at 1,765 meters, requiring approximately three hours of ascending through steep terrain.

The summit features a narrow couloir leading to a broad ridge, where hikers navigate through unmarked paths before reaching an unexpected small cross at the peak.
