Zuckerhütl

Zuckerhütl rises to 3,507 meters in elevation, standing as the highest mountain in the Stubai Alps with its distinct pyramidal formation at the southern end of Stubaital Valley.

The first recorded climb occurred in 1863 when mountaineer Joseph Anton Specht and guides Alois Tanzer and Pankraz Gleinser reached the peak from the southern approach.

The mountain received its German name due to its resemblance to a traditional sugarloaf, which is reflected in the Italian translation Pan di Zucchero.

The ascent requires technical climbing equipment including ropes and crampons, with access starting from the Schaufeljoch cable car station at Stubai Glacier.

The north face contains the Sulzenauferner glacier, which descends 1,000 meters from the summit through a series of ice formations.
