Großer Galtenberg, Alpine summit in Kitzbühel Alps, Austria
Description
The Großer Galtenberg is an Alpine summit in the Alpbach valley of Tyrol at 2,424 meters elevation. The mountain sits at the southern end of the valley and provides viewpoints in multiple directions.
History
The mountainous area around Alpbach has served for centuries as a boundary zone between different Alpine valleys. The peak itself marked an important reference point for local communities in the region.
Culture
The summit has long been a destination for local climbers testing their mountain skills. The surrounding alpine pastures still show traditional patterns of Tyrolean mountain farming.
Practical
The main hiking route to the peak starts from the valley and requires solid mountain walking experience and sturdy footwear. Visitors starting early can complete the climb while daylight lasts.
Did you know?
The peak's position offers views into two different mountain landscapes with distinctly different characters. This makes it a special vantage point for visitors who want to compare both valley sceneries.
