Description

The Dreischusterspitze is a mountain summit in the Sexten Dolomites that rises to about 3145 meters with a distinctive pyramid shape. From the north, this characteristic profile makes it easily recognizable to hikers and climbers.

History

The mountain was first climbed in 1869 by Paul Grohmann, Franz Innerkofler, and Peter Salcher, marking an important milestone for the climbing community. This early ascent opened the way for further exploration and routes on the peak.

Culture

The name refers to three shoemakers and reflects the German-speaking heritage of this region. Local people and visitors use this traditional designation when talking about the mountain.
