Grüblspitze, Mountain peak in Tux Alps, Austria
Grüblspitze is a 2395-metre summit in the Tux Alps, on the northwestern slope of the Tuxer Tal about three kilometres west of Lanersbach in the municipality of Tux, Tyrol. Its northeastern slopes form the southernmost spur of the Zillertal 3000 ski area in winter, and marked hiking trails reach the top in summer.
The Grüblspitze lies about three kilometres west of Lanersbach, part of Tux in the Schwaz district of Tyrol. Its north-eastern slopes form the southernmost spur of the Zillertal 3000 ski area in winter. In summer several marked trails open the mountain, the shortest starting at the Eggalmbahn top station at 1960 metres and reaching the summit in about one and a half hours.
The name Grüblspitze derives from the local dialect word for a small hollow or pit on the slope. Since the Eggalmbahn cable car opened, the peak has been reached from its top station at 1960 metres, and the summer route from there takes about ninety minutes. The mountain lies above Lanersbach in the municipality of Tux, and its north-eastern slopes carry the southernmost runs of the Zillertal 3000 ski area in winter.
The climb requires good hiking boots and some mountain experience, especially in poor weather. It is best to start early and monitor weather conditions, as circumstances can change quickly at higher elevations.
