Kendlspitze

The Kendlspitze peak rises to 3086 meters in elevation within the Granatspitze Group of the Eastern Alps, featuring sand-like slopes and slate formations.

Mountain guides H. Prey and A. Larisch completed the first recorded ascent of Vordere Kendlspitze on June 25, 1903, establishing its climbing significance.

The mountain serves as a training ground for alpine guides, with two distinct ridges offering different technical challenges for climbing instruction.

Access to Kendlspitze begins at the Blauspitz chairlift station, requiring a 2.5-hour hike across Duerrenfeld-Scharte pass at 2823 meters elevation.

The mountain contains a specific type of slate rock called Bratschen that breaks apart by hand, creating distinctive geological formations throughout its surface.
