The Ampferstein is the 2556  m high eastern cornerstone of the Kalkkögel in the Stubai Alps . Together with the Marchreisenspitze and the Malgrubenspitze , it forms the well-known "triumvirate" above the Axamer Lizum .

To the north of the Ampferstein is the Schneiderspitze .

Climbs

The best ascent to the Ampferstein is the Funny Bergler Steig , a via ferrata that leads to the Marchreisenspitze. You can get to the entrance from the Axamer Lizum over the Halsl and over the broad ridge that leads to the rock structure of the Ampferstein. The path leads to the summit of the Ampferstein over some rock steps and ribbons, always well insured. It is worthwhile to continue along the Funny-Bergler-Steig to the Marchreisenspitze. In addition, the neighboring gravel crack between the peaks enables a quick descent into the Lizum.

Origin of name

The name Ampferstein is partly derived from the distinctive sorrel meadows below the mountain. The name for the corridor below the mountain then hiked up and became the name of the mountain itself. As for the second part of the name, stone refers to peaks whose peaks are made of bare rock.
