Jennwand

Jennwand is a mountain summit in the Italian Alps rising to 2,962 meters (9,718 feet) in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. The peak can be reached through various climbing routes that traverse both rocky and grassy terrain depending on the chosen approach.

The peak carries two names reflecting its location at a language boundary: Jennwand in German-speaking areas and Croda Jenne in Italian territories. This bilingual naming convention has persisted for generations due to the region's complex linguistic heritage.

Local mountaineering groups regularly organize expeditions to the summit, contributing to the documentation of various climbing routes and seasonal conditions.

Multiple routes lead to the summit, with some paths accessible by mountain bike for their initial sections before requiring hiking for the final approach. Plan your visit for warmer months when snow has melted and conditions are most stable.

Each face of the mountain displays different geological formations that make the climb varied and engaging. The west ridge provides views across the Vinschgau valley that many visitors miss entirely.
