Hoher Riffler, Alpine summit in Tyrol, Austria

Hoher Riffler is an alpine summit in the Zillertal Alps that reaches 3,231 meters in elevation. Its northern face is covered with firn while the southern peak formation consists of rock, and several glaciers cling to its slopes.

The first ascent took place during the Austrian national survey; the first tourist climber recorded in the literature was H. Weber, guided by Georg Samer in 1875. In 1981/82 members of the KÖHV Leopoldina Innsbruck erected an iron summit cross bearing the fraternity's coat of arms.

The iron summit cross was erected in 1981/82 by members of the KÖHV Leopoldina Innsbruck student fraternity and bears their coat of arms, a detail climbers can see at the top. The Friesenberghaus (2,498 m) and Spannagelhaus serve as bases for the normal route, which is rated UIAA I and takes about two and a half hours from the Friesenberghaus.

Two mountain refuges provide shelter and supplies for climbers planning the ascent. The routes are well marked, but altitude acclimatization is important because of the elevation and alpine conditions.
