Telfer Weißen

The Telfer Weißen reaches an elevation of 2,588 meters, featuring multiple tower-like peaks composed of white limestone and dolomite formations against reddish micaceous schist.

The mountain served as a natural landmark for early inhabitants of the Eisacktal Valley, guiding travelers and traders through the Alpine passages between Italy and Austria.

Local residents maintain traditional Alpine customs through seasonal festivals and activities that celebrate the mountain's connection to South Tyrolean heritage.

Visitors can access the mountain via a cable car from Vipiteno, reducing the ascent time to approximately four hours through marked trails to the summit.

The final climb includes a technical passage through a limestone chimney equipped with fixed cables, followed by an exposed ridge traverse to the main peak.
