Hochmaderer, Mountain summit in Silvretta range, Vorarlberg, Austria

Hochmaderer is a mountain summit in the Silvretta range that rises to 2823 meters and features steep rock faces on its southern and eastern sides. These vertical rock walls drop sharply and create the peak's distinctive appearance from various viewpoints in the area.

The sources record no historical events, first ascent or documentation for the Hochmaderer; they describe only its position and routes. It is the last major summit of an eight-kilometre ridge that branches north from the Silvretta main crest at the Südliche Plattenspitze and descends via the Breitfielerberg toward Partenen and the Silvretta-Hochalpenstraße toll station.

Local climbers use the Tubinger Hut as a gathering place to share experiences about climbing techniques and different approaches to reach the summit. The hut serves as an important meeting point for the alpine community in this region.

The normal route starts at the Vermuntsee (1,743 m, bus stop) and takes about 2½ hours to the summit; from the Tübinger Hut (2,191 m) it is 1¾ hours through the Gantschettatäli to the Hochmadererjoch (2,505 m). From the saddle the Gunserweg climbs steeply to the top in another hour and demands sure-footedness.

The Gantschettatali valley provides an alternative route to reach the Hochmadererjoch saddle at 2505 meters before making the final push to the summit. Climbers often choose this path when looking for a different perspective on the overall ascent.
