Zwölferkopf, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

Zwölferkopf is a 1,491 m summit at the southern edge of Pertisau am Achensee in Tyrol, a spruce-covered knoll separating the Tristenautal from the Perchertal. A five-cabin gondola, the Karwendel-Bergbahn, climbs 540 metres from Pertisau in five minutes. Three foot routes also reach the top, and the summit is the start of trails to the Bärenbadalm, Weißenbachalm and Stanser Joch.

The Zwölferkopf rises from the southern edge of Pertisau, where the Karwendel-Bergbahn, a five-cabin gondola, climbs 540 metres from the village at 952 m to the summit in five minutes. Walkers reach the top on three routes from Pertisau, through the Tristenautal, up a serpentine path on the slope, or through the Perchertal from Haus Hubertus in about two to two and a half hours. The summit also serves as the launch base of Pertisau's DHV-licensed paragliding school.

The peak is the launch base of Pertisau's DHV-licensed paragliding school, which trains beginners and runs advanced courses in flight techniques. A popular route glides from the Zwölferkopf over the Bärenkopf area to the landing field at Wiesenhof in Pertisau. The mountain also carries a small ski area with four downhill runs and two practice slopes.

The Karwendel-Bergbahn gondola lifts visitors from Pertisau (952 m) to the Zwölferkopf in about five minutes, covering 540 metres of height.
