Hohe Wand

The Croda Alta, reaching 3,289 meters in height, stands as a prominent peak along the border between Tyrol and South Tyrol regions.

This mountain has served as a natural boundary marker between Austrian Tyrol and Italian South Tyrol since the territorial divisions following World War I.

Local mountaineering organizations maintain several climbing routes on Croda Alta, preserving traditional Alpine climbing techniques through guided expeditions and training programs.

Climbers can access the mountain through multiple starting points, including the towns of Pfitsch, Finkenberg, and Vals, with equipment rental services available nearby.

The summit offers a distinct vantage point where visitors can simultaneously view landscapes of both Austrian and Italian territories across the Zillertal Alps.
