Ahornspitze

The Ahornspitze reaches an elevation of 2,973 meters and stands as a prominent peak within the Zillertal Alps mountain range in western Austria.

The mountain served as a significant geographical marker for local communities throughout centuries, guiding travelers and shepherds across the Alpine passages of Tyrol.

The name Ahornspitze, meaning Maple Peak, reflects the traditional Austrian practice of naming mountains after local vegetation found in the surrounding valleys.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with the main route from Mayrhofen covering 10.8 kilometers and requiring approximately 5 hours of climbing time.

The mountain structure allows climbers to observe four different valleys simultaneously from its peak, creating distinct perspectives of the surrounding Alpine landscape.
