Großer Möseler, Alpine summit in Zillertal Alps, Austria and Italy
Description
Großer Möseler is a 3,480 meter alpine peak in the Zillertal Alps with steep rock walls and glaciers covering both its north and south faces. The peak's rocky ridges and ice formations create a dramatic profile when viewed from surrounding valleys.
History
The first recorded ascent took place in 1865, establishing the peak as a significant mountaineering objective in the region. Since then, it has become known to climbers from both sides of the border.
Culture
The peak marks a border between two distinct regional identities and landscapes on its slopes. As you climb higher, you move between different cultural zones that have developed on either side.
Practical
Climbers can reach the summit from two main approaches: via Schlegeis Basin and Furtschaglhaus mountain hut on one side, or from Lake Neves and Rifugio Porro on the other. Both routes require alpine experience and stable weather conditions for safe travel.
Did you know?
The peak serves as a major watershed, with streams flowing north toward the Ziller River and south toward the Adige River. This water divide is one reason the mountain became geographically and politically significant.
