Feldalphorn, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria.
Feldalphorn is a 1923-meter peak in the Kitzbühel Alps with gentle slopes that transition from dense forests below to open alpine pastures at higher elevations. The mountain features well-maintained pathways connecting various sections of the landscape.
The pathways across Feldalphorn were developed in the 19th century when local farmers opened routes to reach their high-altitude pastures. These early routes became the foundation for today's hiking trails.
The name comes from the alpine pastures that have been used here for centuries. Visitors today still see the open meadows that shape the mountain and reflect this pastoral heritage.
Marked trails lead to the summit from various starting points, with the northwestern route from Unterer Prädastenalm being the most direct option. The paths are well-maintained and clearly marked throughout.
The mountain serves as a natural boundary between Wildschönau to the west and Kelchsau to the east, creating distinct weather patterns on each side. Hikers often notice how the landscape and conditions shift noticeably depending on which slope they explore.
