Schattenspitze, Mountain summit in Vorarlberg, Austria
The Schattenspitze reaches an elevation of 3,202 meters in the Silvretta Alps, featuring steep slopes and three surrounding glaciers at its base point.
Karl Blodig and Edward Theodore Compton documented their notable 1912 expedition through the Ochsentaler Glacier, establishing the standard route to the summit.
The mountain's name derives from its geographical position among taller peaks, which frequently cast shadows across its slopes throughout the day.
Climbers typically begin their ascent from the Wiesbadener Hütte mountain refuge, located at 2,443 meters, following marked paths through glacial terrain.
The mountain stands as the sixth highest peak in Bezirk Bludenz and Vorarlberg, with a prominence of 146 meters above neighboring summits.
