Thaneller

Thaneller is a summit in the northern limestone Alps of western Austria that reaches 2,341 meters. This peak forms part of the Lechtal range and dominates the landscape with its distinctive shape.

Thaneller has served as a natural boundary between Alpine communities since medieval times, shaping territorial arrangements across centuries. This geographical role gave the peak significance beyond its physical presence.

Local mountaineering clubs organize regular group ascents to the Thaneller summit, maintaining traditional Alpine climbing practices throughout the seasons.

Marked hiking trails lead to the summit from several different starting points, with the shortest route taking roughly four hours. Weather conditions can vary significantly depending on the season, so checking forecasts beforehand is important.

From the summit you can see more than 100 peaks across the Lechtal and Allgau Alps spread out in all directions. On clear days this panoramic view allows visitors to understand the full scale and structure of the surrounding mountain landscape.
