Innere Schwarze Schneid, Mountain summit in Ötztal Alps, Austria

Innere Schwarze Schneid is a 3,367 m mountain in the Weisskamm ridge of the Ötztal Alps in Tyrol, between the Rettenbachferner and Tiefenbachferner glaciers. A ski tunnel runs through the mountain, linking the two glacier ski areas. Its summit stands above the top station of the Schwarze Schneidbahn II at 3,250 m on the north flank.

The sources record no first ascent date or climbers for the Innere Schwarze Schneid. Its documented history is recent and tied to skiing: a tunnel driven through the mountain links the Rettenbachferner and Tiefenbachferner glacier ski areas, and the Schwarze Schneidbahn II lift, whose top station stands at 3250 m on the north flank, now carries visitors close to the 3367 m summit.

The name combines "Schwarze" (black) with "Schneid", a term for a sharp ridge or edge in Alpine naming. The peak stands on the Weißkamm ridge between the Rettenbachferner and Tiefenbachferner glaciers, and a ski tunnel runs through the mountain linking the two glacier ski areas.

The summit is reached from the top station of the Schwarze Schneidbahn II, which sits at 3250 m on the north flank. The other option is a roughly three-hour tour from the Braunschweiger Hütte. A ski tunnel runs through the mountain, linking the Rettenbachferner and Tiefenbachferner ski areas.
