Eiblschrofen, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria.

Eiblschrofen is a mountain in the Tyrolean Alps that rises to offer views across surrounding peaks and valleys. The route to the summit follows marked trails with varying levels of difficulty depending on which approach is taken.

On 10 July 1999 a series of rockfalls began from the west face of the Eiblschrofen above Schwaz; within days about 150,000 m³ of rock broke away and threatened the Ried district below. A crisis team ordered the evacuation of 250 people in phase I, based on run-out modelling. Two catch dams were built, and the last homes were reoccupied on 3 November 1999.

The name Eiblschrofen combines the local dialect word for a wooded knoll with Schrofen, a term for a steep rock face. The 1999 rockfall made the mountain known across Austria, and the crisis team's daily hazard assessments became a reference case in Tyrolean geology.

Several hiking routes lead from the parking area at the mountain base to different summit approaches with varying difficulty. It is wise to wear sturdy footwear and check weather conditions before departing, as conditions at the top can change quickly.
