Santner, Mountain summit in Val Gardena, Dolomites, Italy

Punta Santner is the 2,413-metre rock spire that forms the southern outpost of the Schlern massif above Siusi, next to the Euringerspitze (2,394 m). Its two towers were once called Schlernzacken or Badlspitzen. The massif behind it rises to the Petz at 2,563 m.

The summit was named after a Tyrolean mountaineer who made the first recorded ascent during the 19th century. Early explorations of the peak are connected to the development of mountaineering in this region.

In South Tyrolean legend the Schlern is the dancing ground of the Schlern witches, and the Santner spire was once called Tuiflspitz, Devil's Peak, in Ladin Piza dl Malang. The mountain's silhouette serves as the emblem of the journal Der Schlern, published since 1920, and a 3D animation of it opens the Rai Südtirol news.

A mountain hut near the summit offers lodging and meals for visitors and climbers planning their routes. The best time to climb falls between early summer and early autumn, when weather conditions are more stable.

The two towers were long known as Schlernzacken, Paarlspitzen or Badlspitzen; the Santner also bore the name Tuiflspitz, Ladin Piza dl Malang (Devil's Peak). Johann Santner climbed it alone in 1880 via the east side, graded III, and the spire took his name on 7 July 1880.
