Hochgall, Mountain summit in Val Pusteria, South Tyrol.

Monte Collalto rises to 3,436 meters within the Vedrette di Ries Group, standing as the highest elevation point between South and East Tyrol.

The initial conquest of Monte Collalto occurred in 1854 when pilot officer Hermann van Acken reached the crest beneath the summit along the northeast ridge.

The German name Hochgall originates from Old High German 'galla', signifying a bright mountain, while Italians refer to it as Monte Collalto.

Two primary ascent routes lead to the peak: one from Riva di Tures via Kasseler Mountain Hut and another from East Tyrol through Barmer Mountain Hut.

The north wall of Monte Collalto presents technical climbing challenges due to changing ice conditions caused by temperature variations over recent decades.
