Fineilspitze

The Fineilspitze reaches an elevation of 3,514 meters above sea level, forming a prominent triangular peak between the villages of Sölden and Schnals.

The first documented climb of Fineilspitze occurred in 1865 when priest Franz Senn, guide Cyprian Granbichler, and Josef Gstrein reached the summit from Vent.

The mountain stands near the discovery site of Ötzi, a perfectly preserved human body from 3,300 BCE, which transformed understanding of ancient Alpine life.

Climbers access the summit through marked trails from Similaun Hut at 3,019 meters, requiring proper mountaineering equipment and favorable weather conditions.

The mountain presents different faces to climbers: a technical ice route on its northern side and a traditional climbing path along the southern ridge.
