Grubenkarspitze, mountain summit in the Hinterautal-Vomper chain, Karwendel, Tyrol, Austria

Grubenkarspitze is a summit in the Karwendel range rising to 2,663 meters and defined by steep limestone cliffs and jagged ridges. The rugged terrain of the Northern Limestone Alps makes this peak technically demanding for climbers.

The first recorded ascent of Grubenkarspitze was on 16 August 1870. The peak rises 2,663 metres in the Hinterautal-Vomper chain, in the heart of the Karwendel. Its north face drops about 1,000 metres, yet the mountain never matched the popularity of the neighbouring Laliderer Wände.

The peak's German name refers to the Grubenkar, the cirque below it, and the Rossloch hollow used as the usual starting point is a cold pole that lies in shadow almost all winter. Mountain bikers reach it through the Hinterautal from Scharnitz. In spring the mountain is a popular ski tour.

Marked trails allow access from June to September when weather conditions permit safe climbing in this challenging terrain. Proper mountain boots and experience with steep passages are necessary for this technical ascent.
