Hohe Aifner Spitze, Mountain summit in Jerzens, Austria
Hohe Aifner Spitze is a mountain summit in the Ötztal Alps reaching 2779 meters in elevation. Three distinct ridges converge to form its characteristic pyramid shape, creating a recognizable landmark in the surrounding range.
The mountain sits at the northern boundary of the Kaunergrat range and connects it to the Venetmassiv through the Pillerhöhe saddle. This location has made it a natural reference point in the local alpine geography.
The summit contains a cross and a register book where mountaineers document their successful ascents through the challenging alpine terrain.
Hikers can start from multiple points, including the upper Straßbergalpe via a secured climbing path or through the Aifner Alpe route. Each approach offers different challenges and rewards depending on your fitness level and experience.
The mountain serves as the first major elevation point along the northern ridge, creating frequent weather pattern changes and requiring careful preparation.
