III. Hornspitze, Alpine summit in Zillertal Alps, Austria

The III. Hornspitze rises to an elevation of 3,254 meters, featuring steep rock faces, glacial terrain, and extensive boulder fields at its upper sections.

The mountain recorded its first documented climb on September 4, 1874, when Josef Daimer, Karl Daimer, and Stephan Kirchler successfully reached the summit.

The Berliner Hütte mountain shelter near III. Hornspitze represents traditional Alpine architecture and serves mountaineers as a base for expeditions.

Climbers need glacier protection equipment, sturdy mountaineering boots, and technical climbing skills to navigate the grade II difficulty sections of the ascent.

The mountain presents a combination of glacial and rock climbing challenges, with the Hornkees glacier requiring specific traversing techniques during the 1.5-hour crossing.
