Rietzer Grießkogel, Mountain summit in Northern Sellrain Mountains, Austria
Rietzer Grießkogel reaches 2,884 meters in elevation and stands as the highest peak within the Northern Sellrain Mountains of the Stubai Alps region.
Botanist Andrä Sauter from Innsbruck completed the first documented climb of Rietzer Grießkogel in 1829, marking a significant moment in Alpine exploration.
The mountain takes its name from the village of Rietz at its northern base, reflecting the traditional practice of naming peaks after nearby settlements.
Multiple marked paths lead to the summit, including route 153 from Peter Anich Hut at 1,909 meters, requiring approximately 3.5 hours of hiking time.
The mountain's composition of Ötztal Gneiss, particularly strong biotite-granite gneiss, creates favorable climbing conditions compared to other Alpine formations.
