Vordere Kesselschneid

Vordere Kesselschneid rises to 2002 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock faces on its north side and a sharp drop into Kaisertal valley on the south.

The mountain stands as the highest point in the Zahmer Kaiser range, marking a significant geographical reference point for alpinists since the early documentation of the Kaiser Mountains.

The German name Vordere Kesselschneid reflects the traditional Alpine naming practice, indicating its position as the front peak of a mountain formation resembling a cauldron's edge.

Hikers can reach the summit from Pyramidenspitze via a 20-minute walk across a grassy slope, though the route requires careful navigation without marked paths.

The mountain connects to Hintere Kesselschneid through a long rocky arête partially covered with mountain pines, creating a natural corridor in the Kaiser Mountains.
