Steirische Kalkspitze

The Steirische Kalkspitze reaches an elevation of 2,459 meters and features limestone formations along the border between Styria and Salzburg provinces.

The mountain stands as a geological testament to the formation of the Schladming Tauern range, shaped by ancient tectonic movements and erosion patterns.

Local mountain huts around Steirische Kalkspitze maintain traditional Alpine customs, serving regional dishes and providing shelter to generations of mountaineers.

The main hiking trail spans 10.48 kilometers from Ursprungalm at 1,608 meters, taking approximately six hours to complete with stops at Giglachsee and Oberhütte.
