Grawand, Mountain summit in Val Senales, Italy

The Grawand, rising to 3,251 meters, features a steep rock wall on its southern face and the Hochjochferner glacier on its northern slope.

The mountain gained recognition in 1853 with its first documented ascent, marking the beginning of regular mountaineering expeditions in the Ötztal Alps region.

The Glacier Hotel Grawand, positioned at 3,212 meters on the mountain, maintains the record as the highest-situated hotel establishment in Europe.

A cable car system connects the base at Maso Corto to the summit area, allowing visitors to reach the mountain peak through a metal staircase walkway.

The mountain's summit platform, renamed Iceman Ötzi Peak in 2020, stands near the location where the 5,300-year-old mummy was discovered in the Alps.

Elevation above the sea: 3,251 m

GPS coordinates: 46.76907,10.79964
