Frauenwand

Frauenwand rises to 2,541 meters in elevation, featuring granite walls and multiple hiking paths through the northern section of the Zillertal Alps.

The mountain served as a crucial orientation point for local communities traversing between valleys, marking a natural border in the Tyrolean alpine landscape.

The name Frauenwand, meaning Women's Wall, reflects the regional Austrian practice of naming geographic features based on their physical characteristics or local connections.

Hikers can reach the summit through marked trails starting from St. Jodok, with a challenging elevation gain of 1,200 meters requiring strong physical preparation.

The mountain stands at the intersection of the Schmirn Valley and Tux Alps, providing direct views of both summer and winter ski operations at Hintertux.
