Strahlkogel, Alpine summit in Umhausen, Austria.
The Strahlkogel rises to 3,288 meters in the Larstiger Mountains, displaying steep slopes and a pyramid-shaped peak covered with white quartz layers.
Peter Carl Thurwieser completed the first recorded ascent of Strahlkogel in 1833, followed by Ludwig Purtscheller and Fritz Drasch who established the west route in 1887.
The mountain's name originated from its bright white quartz formations that reflect light across the Stubai Alps landscape throughout the day.
Climbers access the peak from Niederthai village, following a path to Grasstallsee before traversing the Grasstallferner glacier toward the western ridge.
The mountain stands between two major glaciers: the Larstigferner reaching 3,200 meters and the Grasstallferner extending to 3,100 meters in elevation.
