Pflerscher Tribulaun, Mountain summit in Stubai Alps, Austria

Tribulaun di Fleres is a mountain summit in the Stubai Alps, sitting at roughly 3,097 meters and forming the natural border between Austrian Tyrol and Italian South Tyrol. The peak can be reached from both sides of the border via marked routes, making it accessible to climbers coming from either valley.

The first recorded ascent took place in 1874, when a group that included G. Hofmann and Johann Grill reached the top for the first time. That climb helped draw attention to this part of the Stubai Alps as a destination for mountaineers.

The summit sits exactly on the border between Austria and Italy, and this position shows in the names: the mountain carries different names depending on which side you approach from. Visitors who explore the surrounding valleys quickly notice that signs, dialects, and hut styles shift depending on which slope you are on.

The Italian Tribulaunhütte (Rifugio Cesare Calciati al Tribulaun, 2368 m) stands at the Sandessee far below the summit, west of the mountain; the Austrian Tribulaunhütte (2064 m) lies to the northeast. The normal route from Gschnitz or Pflersch via the Sandesjoch is grade III (UIAA), partly secured with wire cables, very loose and exposed to rockfall.

The mountain's cleft east of the main summit, which separates it from the slightly lower east peak, is explained in local legend as the work of a powerful mountain king who struck the rock to shelter a pursued miner. Because of this split shape, the mountain was known in the Gschnitz valley as "Die Schaar" (the scissors).
