Racherin, Mountain summit in Hohe Tauern National Park, Austria.
The Racherin summit reaches an elevation of 3,092 meters, offering a direct view of the Großglockner peak within the Glockner Group mountain range.
The summit became increasingly accessible after the construction of the Großglockner High Alpine Road, which transformed the region's connectivity in the early 20th century.
Local mountaineers maintain traditional climbing routes to Racherin's peak, passing through alpine pastures that reflect centuries of Austrian mountain farming practices.
The ascent from Schöne Wand parking area takes approximately three hours, requiring navigation skills due to unmarked paths across steep terrain and fine scree.
The western gully between Albitzenspitz and Racherin provides exceptional spring skiing conditions when covered with firm snow.
