Petersköpfl, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

Petersköpfl is a 1,745-metre summit in the Zahmer Kaiser, the northern ridge of the Kaisergebirge in Tyrol. To the south it drops steeply into the Kaisertal; to the north, steep rock faces fall toward Ebbs. A ridge links it eastward to the Einserkogel, while a wind gap separates it from the Naunspitze to the west.

The sources record no geological origin or dating for the Petersköpfl; they describe it as a 1,745 m summit of the Zahmer Kaiser, the northern ridge of the Kaisergebirge in Tyrol. It is joined by a ridge to the Einserkogel in the east and separated from the Naunspitze by a wind gap in the west. Its south side drops steeply into the Kaisertal, while its north rock faces rise above Ebbs.

The usual starting points are the Vorderkaiserfelden Hut and the Hinterkaiserfeldenalm, both reached on foot; the hut-to-summit walk takes about an hour. The crossing west to the Naunspitze takes 20 minutes, and a marked climbing path continues east over the mountain-pine plateau to the Pyramidenspitze. The name Petersköpfl uses the diminutive suffix -köpfl, "little head", for the rounded summit.

From the Vorderkaiserfelden Hut the summit is reached in about an hour on an easy route; the Hinterkaiserfeldenalm offers a similarly short approach. The crossing to the Naunspitze takes 20 minutes, and a climbing path continues over the mountain-pine plateau to the Pyramidenspitze. Short climbing routes run up a small rock slab on the western flank, while longer Alpine climbs use the north face.

A natural high plateau covered in mountain pines occupies the eastern section and extends toward the neighboring Pyramidenspitze peak. Hikers often expect mostly rock and steep terrain, so they are surprised to discover this gentler area with dense low-growing trees.
