The garnet tip is 3086 m above sea level. A. high and eponymous summit of the Granatspitz group in the Hohe Tauern . This is despite the fact that some peaks in this group exceed the mountain in height, including the Stubacher Sonnblick , which is less than a kilometer to the north and two meters higher . In contrast to this much-climbed neighbor, the Granatspitze is visited somewhat less often due to the higher difficulty. The steep summit structure of the shapely summit consists of granite .
Climbs
The easiest ascent leads from the Rudolfshütte first west towards Granatscharte, before this south up to the east ridge and over this in a total of about 3 hours to the summit ( II- ). The north ridge, which has a few ridge towers, offers another possibility of ascent, but it is more difficult ( II- ). The south ridge is an alternative, especially from the East Tyrolean side. This may depend on the Karl-Prince hut, a shelter west of the Stubacher Sonnblick about some problematic crevasses having Prägratkees at the Lower Keeswinkelscharte be achieved ( II ).
