Großer Kaserer

Großer Kaserer is a mountain peak in Tyrol made of granite with steep slopes rising dramatically from the surrounding terrain. The summit and its surrounding ridges form a complex rocky structure that dominates views across the area.

The mountain was first recorded during a land survey of the Zillertal Alps in 1850. This early exploration opened the peak to mountaineers and made it part of the climbing tradition in the region.

Local mountaineering groups organize annual climbing competitions at Großer Kaserer, maintaining Alpine traditions through generations of climbers.

Several climbing routes approach the summit, each requiring different levels of fitness and mountain experience. A mountain hut nearby provides shelter and rest options for those attempting the ascent.

The eastern face holds extensive glacier formations, while the western side drops steeply into the valley creating a dramatic contrast. These two different sides offer distinct geological features that catch climbers by surprise during their approach.
