Höllentalspitzen, mountain summits in the Wetterstein range, Bavaria, Germany
The Höllentalspitzen are three summits on the Blassenkamm ridge, which runs east from the Zugspitze and separates the Höllental to the north from the Reintal to the south. The Inner Höllentalspitze reaches 2,741 m, the Middle Höllentalspitze 2,743 m and the Outer Höllentalspitze 2,720 m.
The peaks became known among climbers after the Jubiläumsgrat route was established, connecting them to Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze. This link made them an important part of climbing routes in the region.
The name comes from the Hell Valley to the north, which separates these peaks from the terrain further south. This connection to the local geography becomes clear when you explore the surrounding landscape.
These peaks require advanced mountaineering experience and strong rope and climbing skills. Good weather and daylight hours are essential for safely navigating the technical sections.
The Höllentalgrat Hut between the Middle and Outer Höllentalspitze is a small, unmanaged bothy kept for emergencies on the Jubiläumsgrat. It offers no service and no regular overnight stay; climbers use it only when weather or injury forces a break on the ridge.
