Großer Muntanitz, Mountain summit in Kals am Großglockner, Austria
Großer Muntanitz is a mountain summit in the Granatspitz Group and stands as the highest peak of this mountain range. The terrain features steep rocky faces and exposed ridges typical of high-altitude alpine geography.
The first documented ascent took place in 1871 and established the peak in alpine mountaineering records. Since then it has become an established objective for climbers in the region.
Each summer, the mountain draws numerous climbers who follow established routes while adhering to Austrian Alpine safety protocols and traditions.
The climb requires alpine experience and stable weather, as several passages are exposed and steep. Warm clothing and sturdy boots are necessary, especially if snowfields remain early in the season.
A mountain hut on the peak receives its annual supplies by helicopter due to the difficult access. This supply method reflects the challenges of maintaining infrastructure in such a remote and high location.
