Hochwildstelle

The Hochwildstelle rises 2,747 meters above sea level, featuring steep rock faces and a sharp north-to-south ridgeline in the Schladming Tauern mountain range.

M. Reiter and his climbing group achieved the first documented ascent of Hochwildstelle in 1801, marking the beginning of recorded mountaineering on this peak.

The mountain stands as a symbol of Styrian alpine identity, representing the highest elevation point entirely within the borders of the Styrian region.

Two main climbing routes access the summit from Neualmscharte via Kleine Wildstelle and from Wildlochscharte through the south ridge, each requiring about one hour.

The mountain environment includes multiple lakes and two major waterfalls surrounding the massif, creating a network of water features at high elevation.
