Gimpel

The Gimpel mountain rises to 2,173 meters within the Tannheim Mountains range, featuring limestone formations and multiple climbing routes on its faces.

The mountain's west ridge received its first documented ascent in 1896, marking the beginning of organized climbing activities in this section of the Allgäu Alps.

Local mountaineering traditions center around the Gimpel, with regional climbing guides documenting numerous routes that reflect Austrian alpine exploration methods.

Climbers can access the summit through several established paths, including the Normal route along the South Flank at UIAA grade II difficulty level.

The Gimpel Labyrinth, discovered in 1990 within the South Face, represents a complex system of geological formations specific to this mountain.
