Largoz, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria
Largoz is a mountain summit in the Tuxer Alps that rises to 2214 meters between the Volders and Wattens valleys. The peak offers views across the surrounding Alpine landscape and serves as a natural waypoint between these two main valleys.
The name Largoz was first recorded in writing in 1765 as "Largaz", derived from the Latin laricatus, meaning "interspersed with larches". The summit cross stands at 2214 m, while the highest point lies over 100 m further south at at least 2220 m and is not marked on the Austrian federal map.
A traditional summit cross marks the peak, following an Alpine custom that connects local people to the mountain for generations. This religious symbol reflects how mountain communities have long expressed their relationship with the landscape around them.
Most ascents start at the car park above the Krepperhütte inn on the Großvolderberg at 1360 m. A trail or forest roads lead first to the Largozalm at 1930 m, then past the Glotzenkreuz at 2092 m to the summit. In winter the same car park is the start of a sledding run prepared on forest roads toward the Largozalm, covering about 300 metres of height difference.
The summit cross stands at 2214 m, but the actual highest point lies over 100 m further south and reaches at least 2220 m; it is not marked on the Austrian federal map. Locals also call the mountain Glotzen, and a cross at 2092 m on the way up is the Glotzenkreuz.
