Kreuzspitze, Alpine summit in Prägraten am Großvenediger, Austria
The Kreuzspitze mountain rises to 3155 meters above sea level within the Venediger group of East Tyrol, offering views toward Großvenediger glacier.
The Sajathütte mountain refuge, located at 2600 meters on the path to Kreuzspitze, underwent reconstruction in 2002 after an avalanche destroyed the original structure.
Local mountaineers maintain several marked trails leading to Kreuzspitze summit, incorporating traditional Alpine climbing techniques with steel cable protection systems.
The ascent starts from Johannishütte at 2121 meters, reached by a 2.5-hour walk from Hinterbichl or by using the mountain transport service.
The summit path combines sections of serpentine trails through grass slopes, rocky ridge traverses, and scree field crossings before reaching the mountain cross.
