Äußerer Bärenbartkogel, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy.

The Äußerer Bärenbartkogel is a mountain summit in the Ötztal Alps at 3,473 meters elevation with steep rocky slopes. The peak rises abruptly from surrounding terrain and occupies a prominent position within this mountain range.

The first documented ascent took place in 1909 when climbers Fridolin Hohenleitner and J. Plattner reached the summit and established the initial route. This early achievement opened the way for mountaineering on this peak.

The name translates to 'Outer Bear Beard Peak' in German, while Italian speakers call it Cima Barba d'Orso di fuori. Both names reflect how the mountain region sits between two distinct language communities.

The east ridge offers the most direct route to the summit but demands technical equipment and advanced climbing skills throughout the ascent. Visitors should expect challenging terrain and need strong physical fitness for the climb.

The peak displays a prominence of 167 meters and serves as a geographical reference point between different sections of the mountain range. This characteristic makes it useful for navigation and understanding the local topography.
