Zufrittspitze

The Zufrittspitze mountain rises to 3439 meters, featuring an iron cross at its peak and commanding views across the Ulten Valley in South Tyrol.

The mountain paths developed over centuries as local communities established routes through the Alps, connecting valleys and enabling trade between different regions.

Local alpine associations maintain the network of trails and mountain huts, including the Höchsterhütte refuge at 2561 meters, preserving traditional mountaineering practices.

The complete ascent spans 13.3 kilometers with 1550 meters of elevation gain, requiring advanced hiking skills and proper equipment for rocky terrain.

A permanent snow formation called Wechte marks the final approach to the summit, where climbers navigate a chain-secured passage through fragile rock formations.
