Weißseespitze

The Weißseespitze reaches an elevation of 3,498 meters, marking the border between Tyrol in Austria and South Tyrol in Italy within the Ötztal Alps.

The mountain region became a significant location for mountaineering activities during the development of Alpine tourism in the late nineteenth century.

The mountain forms part of a territory where German and Italian-speaking communities maintain their traditions through generations of mountain life.

Climbers need crampons and ropes to navigate the icy conditions, particularly when crossing the two-kilometer stretch known as Gletscherhaatscher.

The mountain features a large flat ice cap at its summit, with the Gepatschferner glacier displaying numerous ice formations across its surface.
