Schneefernerkopf

The Schneefernerkopf is a mountain in the Zugspitze range in the Alps that stands at 2,875 meters (9,432 feet). It is located near the western extremity of the Wetterstein range in the Alps, on the boundary between Bavaria, Germany, and Tyrol, Austria. When viewed from Ehrwald, it is the most prominent peak in the Wetterstein.

The Zugspitze ledge, or Zugspitzplatt, is the best place to start climbing the Schneefernerkopf. The trail leads to the Schneefernerscharte by going over or past the rest of the Schneeferner. The 'wind hole (Windloch),' a result of weathering, with a view down onto Ehrwald, may be found here. To reach the summit, the trail follows the Schneefernerkopf Lift, which was decommissioned in 2003 but not dismantled, and climbs the northern shoulder on stairs and through a steep slope with the help of steel cables. It takes slightly under an hour to complete the trek. It's crucial to be sure-footed and have a mind for heights.
