Großelendkopf

The Großelendkopf reaches an elevation of 3,317 meters within the Ankogel Group, featuring granite and gneiss formations across its steep slopes.

Nineteenth-century explorers documented the first recorded ascents of Großelendkopf, establishing routes that mountaineers still follow to reach its peak.

Local mountaineering clubs organize regular summer expeditions to Großelendkopf, maintaining traditional climbing techniques passed through generations.

Climbers need specialized equipment including ropes, carabiners, and ice axes to navigate the technical sections of the northern face during ascents.
