Blauspitze, Mountain summit in Kals am Großglockner, Austria.

Blauspitze is a mountain peak in the Granatspitzgruppe range near Kals am Großglockner, reaching around 2,575 meters in elevation. Its southwestern section features steep rock walls that demand technical climbing skills on the ascent.

The first ascent was made on 28 June 1891 by C. Diener and L. Brunner via the northwest route, now rated grade I. On the east ridge at about 2,185 m, remnants of a historically mined deposit survive: a 28 m adit and spoil heaps. In 2006, Kals mountain guides established the Blauspitz via ferrata (C to D), partly following the southwest ridge route.

The name comes from the conspicuously blue-coloured serpentinite rock and scree on the mountain, which likely gave the peak its name. The dark green to blue-green serpentinite is densely compressed and cut by slickensides, with fissures often filled with chrysotile asbestos or tremolite. At the eastern ridge around 2,185 m, remnants of a historically mined deposit survive as a 28 m adit and spoil heaps.

The best climbing window opens from June through September when snow and ice coverage is minimal. Bring technical climbing gear and solid climbing experience before attempting the ascent.

On the east ridge at about 2,185 m, remnants of a historic mining prospect survive: a 28 m adit and spoil heaps. The serpentinite here carries magnetite, pyrite and chalcopyrite, and its fissures are often filled with chrysotile asbestos or tremolite.
