Kuhscheibe, Alpine summit in Tyrol, Austria.

Kuhscheibe is an alpine summit in Tyrol's Stubai Alps, reached at an elevation where steep flanks and year-round glacial formations shape the landscape. The terrain drops away in multiple directions, showing different rock structures depending on exposure.

The Kuhscheibe is the 3189 m summit of the Sulztalkamm ridge in the western Stubai Alps, set northwest of the Wilde Leck. The standard route leaves the Amberger Hütte, follows the Sulztal south for about 20 minutes, then turns west into the Roßkar toward the Atterkarjöchl; a marked branch at roughly 2680 m leads south up a steep gully to the Roßkarferner and the summit. The climb takes about 3½ hours from the hut.

The route from the Amberger Hütte is marked as far as the Roßkarferner; above that point climbers follow a steep gully and then cross the glacier to a saddle west of the summit. The final metres run over blockwork to the cross on the highest point. A second, two-metre-lower summit stands just to the northwest.

The easiest route starts at the Amberger Hütte: about 20 minutes south into the Sulztal, then west at a signpost into the Roßkar toward the Atterkarjöchl. At roughly 2680 m a second signpost marks the branch south to the Kuhscheibe; the path climbs a steep gully to the Roßkarferner, where ice lies beneath scree, crosses the glacier to a saddle west of the summit and continues over blockwork to the top. The way is marked up to the Roßkarferner; allow about 3½ hours from the hut.

The main summit carries a summit cross, and a second peak only two metres lower stands just to its northwest. Below the connecting ridge to the Zahme Leck (3226 m), the Kuhscheibenferner glacier lies to the southeast, while the Roßkarferner fills the north flank.
