Thurwieserspitze, Alpine summit in South Tyrol and Province of Sondrio, Italy
Thurwieserspitze reaches an elevation of 3,652 meters within the Ortler Alps, featuring exposed ridges and steep slopes along its eastern and western flanks.
The first documented climb of Thurwieserspitze occurred on August 20, 1869, when Theodor Harpprecht and Josef Schnell reached the peak through the southern route.
The mountain served as a military position during World War I, with traces of fortifications still visible along the Kristallokamm ridge to this day.
Rifugio V Alpini at 2,878 meters provides accommodation for mountaineers, with access through a marked trail from the Zebrú Valley parking area.
The mountain experiences frequent rockfall in its snow and ice gully, requiring climbers to start ascents early when temperatures maintain solid conditions.
