Freiungspitzen, Mountain summit group in the Karwendel Alps, Zirl, Austria

Freiungspitzen consists of three connected peaks in the Erlspitze Group of the Karwendel, with the western summit reaching 2,332 meters in elevation. This massif features characteristic dolomite rock formations and is linked to neighboring shelters by several hiking routes.

The first documented ascent of the Freiungspitzen was made by August and Fraja Lieber between 1886 and 1890. Their climbs opened the initial routes on these Karwendel peaks. The Freiungen Ridgeway between the Nördlinger Hut and the Solsteinhaus now passes the summits.

The Freiungen Ridgeway between the Nördlinger Hut and the Solsteinhaus passes directly by the three tops, so hut-to-hut walkers cross the group without needing to summit. The west top, at 2,332 m, is the one most often climbed on the way, since it is easy to ascend from the path.

The main route via the Freiungen Ridge requires climbing experience and proper safety equipment due to exposed passages. Visitors should be comfortable in alpine conditions and able to seek shelter during bad weather.

The Freiungen Ridgeway between the Nördlinger Hut and the Solsteinhaus runs directly past all three tops, so the peaks are crossed on a hut-to-hut traverse rather than climbed from a valley base. Only the west top, at 2,332 m, is described as easy to ascend; the middle and east tops are 2,322 m and 2,302 m.
