Patteriol, Mountain summit in Verwall Alps, Austria.
Patteriol is a summit in the Verwall Alps known for its steep rock faces and distinctive pyramid-like profile. The mountain sits as part of a larger massif with several interconnected ridges and passages.
The mountain was first climbed around 1860 by geodesists, hunters, and military personnel who traced an initial route up its slopes. This early ascent established the foundation for routes still used by climbers today.
The mountain earned recognition among Alpine communities for its distinct pyramid shape, leading locals to name it the Matterhorn of Verwall.
The ascent starts from Konstanzer Hütte and takes several hours on mixed terrain with exposed sections. Experience with rock scrambling and good balance are needed for the steeper passages on the route.
The massif includes several distinct sub-peaks such as the South summit and the Horn, which offer alternative routes for ascent and descent. Many visitors combine passages through these features to create different climbing variations on the same mountain.
