Hinterer Daunkopf

Hinterer Daunkopf is a mountain summit in the Stubaier Alpen with a peak elevation of 3,225 meters and steep rocky faces on most sides. The location offers wide views that extend across multiple valleys and surrounding ridges.

The peak emerged as a climbing destination during the 20th century as routes were established across its slopes. This growth made it a notable location in the mountaineering history of the Stubaier Alpen.

Local mountain guides maintain traditional climbing techniques specific to the Hinterer Daunkopf, passing knowledge through certified training programs.

The route typically departs from Amberger Hütte and requires several hours of walking and climbing to reach the summit. Climbers should prepare for mountain weather changes and bring appropriate gear for alpine conditions.

The Sulztalferner glacier on the route presents a challenging icy passage where climbers test their skills in demanding conditions. This section is often the most difficult part of the ascent for many who attempt it.
