Zwölferkogel, Mountain summit in the Stubai Alps, Tyrol, Austria
The Zwölferkogel is a 2,988 m mountain in the Stubai Alps of Tyrol, Austria, about 2.7 km south of Kühtai. Its northwest face drops roughly 500 m into the Längental valley, while the Finstertalspeicher reservoir of the Sellrain-Silz power group lies below to the east. Southward a sharp arête links it to the Mittagsköpfe (2,934 m), Mittagsturm (2,929 m) and Sulzkogel (3,016 m).
The sources record no first ascent or climbing history for the Zwölferkogel. Its documented setting is the Stubai Alps of Tyrol, about 2.7 km south of the Kühtai winter sport resort, with the Finstertalspeicher reservoir of the Sellrain-Silz power station lying below its east side.
The name Zwölferkogel derives from the German word for twelve, a numbering common in Tyrolean mountain names. The summit stands in the Stubai Alps, about 2.7 km south of the Kühtai winter sport resort. South of the top a sharp arête links it to the Mittagsköpfe (2,934 m), the Mittagsturm (2,929 m) and the Sulzkogel (3,016 m).
The most common starting point is the Kühtai resort, where trails lead toward the summit from well-marked trailheads. Weather at this elevation can shift quickly, so an early start and solid mountain gear are both worth planning for.
The Finstertalspeicher lies east below the summit, in the Finstertal valley, and belongs to the Sellrain-Silz power station group. The reservoir is not directly beneath the peak: the northwest face drops about 500 metres into the Längental instead.
