The Großlitzner , often also called Großer Litzner , is a 3,109  m high prominent mountain in the Silvretta , over which the border between Austria and Switzerland runs. On the Swiss side, the mountain is in the canton of Graubünden , on the Austrian side in the state of Vorarlberg . The first ascent took place on September 12, 1866 by Jules Jacot and his guide Christian Jann and A. Schlegel.

The Großlitzner is considered to be the most rewarding climbing mountain in the Silvretta (difficulty level of the normal ascent II-III). On its northern flank is the Litzner Glacier, on the edge of which the Saarbrücker Hütte ( DAV ) stands. From east and west, the Großlitzner presents itself as a slender, vertically rising rock tower.

Großes Seehorn and Großlitzner, which are separated by the Litzner-Hochjoch (approx. 2960  m ), are considered to be the most beautiful pair of peaks in the Silvretta. A popular climbing tour is crossing both mountains from east to west (II and III).
