Wildkarspitze, Mountain summit in Zillertal Alps, Austria.

The Wildkarspitze rises to 3073 meters above sea level and features rocky terrain on its western side with glaciated areas on northern and eastern slopes.

Mountain climbers Karl Povinelli and Franz Hofer achieved the first documented ascent of Wildkarspitze, then called Wildkarkopf, in the year 1892.

The mountain forms part of the Gerloskamm ridge in the Salzburg region, connecting multiple valleys and offering traditional alpine climbing experiences.

Mountaineers access the summit through routes starting at Zittauer Hut at 2330 meters elevation, following specific paths rated at UIAA grade II difficulty.

Three distinct glaciers surround the peak: Wildkarkees to the north, Waldbergkarkees to the northeast, and Weißkarkees to the southeast.
