Stubaier Wildspitze, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria
Stubaier Wildspitze is a mountain summit in the Stubai Alps with an elevation of 3,341 meters (10,961 feet). Two glaciers named Schaufelferner and Daunkogelferner cover parts of its northeastern slopes.
The first documented ascent took place in 1882 when climbers E. v. Fuchs, M. Egger, and Josef Pfurtscheller reached the summit. Since then it has been a sought-after destination for mountaineers.
The name Wildspitze comes from German and refers to the raw and untamed character of this peak. Visitors sense this untamed quality when looking at the steep rock faces and the dynamic glacial landscape.
The typical route to the summit approaches from the south via Stubaier Eisjoch, with the Dresdner Hütte at 2,308 meters (7,572 feet) serving as a base point. Sturdy boots and mountaineering gear are essential since the terrain is demanding and often icy.
The summit maintains snow cover year-round, which sets it apart from many other Alpine peaks. This permanent ice coverage makes ascent and descent challenging but attracts experienced mountaineers.
