Scheichenspitze

Scheichenspitze is a mountain summit in the Schladming-Dachstein region with steep rocky slopes and multiple climbing routes. The alpine terrain offers varied passages through exposed rock sections and marked pathways.

The mountain was developed during the rise of alpine tourism in the late 19th century, when climbers began systematically exploring the Dachstein region. The established routes reflect the era's wave of mountaineering discovery in the Eastern Alps.

The summit attracts mountaineers from Austria and neighboring countries who value the physical demands of high-altitude climbing in the Eastern Alps.

The ascent follows marked trails from Guttenberghaus past Gruberscharte toward Landfriedtal valley. Sturdy footwear and experience with steep, rocky terrain are needed for safe hiking on this route.

The mountain trek demands 1,695 meters of ascent across 13.9 kilometers, requiring technical climbing skills in several exposed sections.
