Glocknerwand

The Glocknerwand mountain is located in Austria's Central Alps, near the border between East Tyrol and Carinthia. With a height of 3,721 meters, it is Austria's fourth highest peak. Because of its sheer granite sides, this mountain is one of the most challenging to climb. The Glocknerwand's top area includes high snowdrifts that can be unexpected at times. It is not one of the most dangerous mountains to climb.

The Glocknerwand is a large, fan-shaped mountain with over 400-meter-high (1,300-foot) granite sides to the southwest and northeast. The summit location is surrounded by deep snowdrifts, making the ascent perilous and unexpected. As a result, the towers of the Glocknerwand are regarded as the most challenging peaks to reach in the whole Glockner Group.
