Fellhorn, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria
Fellhorn is a mountain summit in the Chiemgauer Alps in Tyrol that reaches 1764 meters in elevation. Several hiking routes cross the area, connecting to neighboring peaks and valleys with varying levels of difficulty.
The mountain's name came from early Alpine dwellers who recognized its distinctive shape resembling a bare horn. This name has persisted in the region for centuries.
Local mountain guides share generations of accumulated knowledge about Fellhorn's paths, weather patterns, and seasonal changes with visiting climbers.
The ascent follows marked trails from nearby villages, with the most direct route taking around three hours. The best time to hike is during warmer months when the paths are more accessible.
During winter months, snow patterns form on the northern face creating natural ice formations visible from surrounding valleys. These ice structures shift with weather conditions and offer a spectacular natural display.
