Kirchdachspitze, Mountain summit in Stubai Alps, Austria
Kirchdachspitze is a mountain summit in the Stubaier Alps in Tyrol and rises to 2,840 meters above sea level. The peak forms a natural boundary between the Gschnitztal valley on one side and the Pinnistal and Stubaital valleys on the other.
The mountain was developed in the 1980s by mountaineer Andreas Orgler, who created routes with varying technical demands. These paths incorporate rock climbing, ice climbing, and mixed climbing techniques across different sections of the ascent.
The Jubiläumssteig trail leading to Kirchdachspitze represents a significant achievement in Austrian alpine path construction, connecting multiple mountain communities.
Climbers can begin their ascent from Pinnisalm at 1,560 meters (5,118 feet) or from Issenangeralm at 1,366 meters (4,482 feet). Both routes take approximately four hours to reach the summit.
The final section to the summit crosses an exposed north arête with secured sections, passing by Silbersattel at 2,750 meters (9,022 feet). This narrow passage offers striking views into both adjacent valleys.
