Gefrorene-Wand-Spitzen, Mountain summit in Zillertal Alps, Austria.
Gefrorene-Wand-Spitzen is a twin-peaked mountain in the Tyrolean Alps with summits around 3.300 meters connected by a ridge. The area features several large glaciers that extend across its flanks and remain visible throughout most of the year.
The north summit was first climbed in 1867, with the south summit being conquered a few years after. These early ascents marked the beginning of mountaineering activity in this part of the Tyrolean range.
The summit serves as a natural gathering point for mountain enthusiasts visiting the region throughout the year. Local traditions of alpine sports and outdoor activities center around this area, shaping how visitors experience the landscape.
Cable cars from Hintertux provide quick access to higher elevations, reducing walking time to the summits. Multiple marked routes serve different experience levels, though all paths at this altitude require good physical condition.
The area contains three substantial glaciers that support skiing activities well into summer months, a rarity in the Alps. This combination of multiple glacier systems at this elevation is what sets it apart from many neighboring peaks.
