Großvenediger

The Großvenediger reaches an elevation of 3,657 meters, making it Austria's fourth highest peak within the Venediger Group of the Eastern Alps.

The first successful ascent of Großvenediger occurred on September 3rd, 1841, when a group of 28 climbers reached the summit under the guidance of forester Rohregger.

The mountain's name has generated discussions among alpinists and historians, as contrary to local folklore, the city of Venice cannot be seen from its summit.

Climbers access the summit through four main routes that merge at the upper section of Schlaten-Kees glacier, with ascent times ranging from 2.5 to 5 hours.

The Großvenediger maintains substantial glacial features despite global warming trends, with the Schlaten-Kees glacier providing a primary access route to the peak.
