Glockturm

The Glockturm summit rises to 3,355 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock faces and extensive glacial formations across its northern slopes.

The mountain gained recognition among European alpinists during the late 19th century when systematic mapping of the Eastern Rhaetian Alps began.

Local mountain guides from both Austrian and Italian sides maintain traditional climbing routes, passing their expertise through generations of mountaineers.

The ascent requires advanced climbing skills, proper equipment, and careful planning, with most expeditions starting from the nearest mountain shelter.

The mountain marks a natural border point between Austria and Italy, creating distinct microclimates on its northern and southern faces.
