Hinterer Daunkopf, Mountain summit in Stubai Alps, Austria.

Hinterer Daunkopf is a 3,225-metre summit in the western main ridge of the Stubaier Alpen. Its south-east face drops as a steep, slabby rock wall, while the south ridge falls to the Daunjoch at 3,057 m above the Sulztalferner. A glaciated hollow lies on the north side, and the Daunkopfferner sits below the eastern and north-eastern flanks.

The Hinterer Daunkopf belongs to the western main ridge of the Stubaier Alpen and rises to 3,225 m, 1.7 km from the Windacher Daunkogel. Its south-east face is a slabby rock wall, and the south ridge drops to the Daunjoch at 3,057 m, beneath which the Sulztalferner runs. Since December 2012 a chairlift of the Stubaier Gletscherskigebiet reaches just below the Daunjoch, making the south-ridge ascent short.

Since December 2012 a chairlift of the Stubaier Gletscherskigebiet has run to just below the Daunjoch at 3057 m, so the summit is often climbed on skis in winter via the short south ridge. The name Daunkopf is shared with neighbouring peaks such as the Vordere Daunkopf at 2882 m and the Nördlicher Daunkogel at 3076 m.

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.

Since December 2012 a chairlift of the Stubaier Gletscherskigebiet has run to just below the Daunjoch (3,057 m), so the south ridge to the summit is a short ski tour in winter. The north ridge, by contrast, calls for climbing at UIAA grade III.
