Vertainspitze

The Vertainspitze mountain rises to 3,545 meters, forming a rocky pyramid with two summits and bordered by three distinct valleys in the Ortler Alps.

Mountaineers Julius von Payer and J. Pingerra completed the first documented climb of Vertainspitze in 1865, establishing its place in Alpine climbing history.

The mountain stands within Parco Nazionale dello Stelvio, where traditional Alpine climbing practices connect generations of mountaineers through shared routes and experiences.

Climbers can access the mountain from Solda village at 1,907 meters, with the Southeast Ridge route starting from the Kanzel chairlift upper station.

The mountain features three different climbing paths: the Southeast Ridge, the North-East Ridge Walterweg, and the Northwest ridge, each presenting distinct technical challenges.
