Weißspitz

The Weißspitz rises to 3,300 meters in the Venediger Group of East Tyrol, featuring steep rock faces and extensive glacial formations throughout its slopes.

The mountain became a significant destination for alpinists during the late 19th century when mountaineering groups established initial climbing routes to reach its peak.

Local mountain guides from Prägraten maintain climbing traditions by leading expeditions and sharing knowledge about safe alpine navigation techniques with visitors.

Climbers access the summit via the Bodenalm parking area at 1,688 meters, following an 8-hour route that passes through the Eisseehütte mountain shelter.

The summit provides views of the largest connected glacier area in the Hohe Tauern National Park, including the Großvenediger and surrounding three-thousand-meter peaks.
