Barmer Spitze, Alpine summit in Sankt Jakob in Defereggen, Austria.

Barmer Spitze reaches an elevation of 3,200 meters and marks the border between East Tyrol, Austria, and South Tyrol, Italy in the Rieserferner mountain group.

The mountain became part of the High Tauern National Park, established in 1981, marking a significant step in preserving the Eastern Alpine landscapes and ecosystems.

The mountain stands at the intersection of Austrian and Italian territories, reflecting the dual heritage of alpine traditions and mountaineering practices.

Summer months provide optimal climbing conditions, with access routes beginning from both the Austrian side through Sankt Jakob and the Italian side via Sand in Taufers.

The Barmer Hütte mountain shelter, positioned 1,510 meters east of the summit, serves as a strategic base for mountaineers attempting the ascent.
