Ortler, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy.
The Ortles mountain reaches an elevation of 3,905 meters with three distinct ridges: North, South, and East, forming the highest point in South Tyrol.
Josef Pichler accomplished the first ascent of Ortles in September 1804, commissioned by Archduke John of Austria through the northwest flank from Trafoi.
The mountain features in the South Tyrol hymn and includes the MMM Ortles museum, which preserves regional mountaineering traditions and historical artifacts.
The standard climbing route starts at Payer Mountain Hut at 3,029 meters elevation and continues along the North Ridge to reach the summit.
The North Face of Ortles contains the largest ice wall in the Eastern Alps, with numerous climbing paths remaining unrepeated since their first ascent.
