The Guffert is a 2194 m above sea level. A. high, isolated, looming limestone in the Brandenberg Alps (Rofan), which together with the Guffertstein form a double peak. It is located north of Steinberg am Rofan in Tyrol . Since it towers over the Mangfall Mountains in the north by more than 300 meters, the distinctive double peaks from the foothills of the Alps, the Tegernsee and the Bavarian foothills are easy to see.

The Guffert is a much-visited mountain and can be tackled in a day tour. From the valley town of Steinberg to the summit there are around 1200 meters in altitude, and around three hours of walking are estimated. The summit ascent from the south is steep, exposed to the sun and rocky in the upper area. The ascent from the north side is more beautiful, and at a critical point it is well secured with wire ropes and steel steps. There, the pure walking time (due to the clockwise circling of the base) is almost four hours. For the experienced mountaineer, the Guffert is a very worthwhile tour.

From the summit, the view extends over the Bavarian Prealps, the Rofan Mountains , the Wetterstein Mountains and the Karwendel as far as the eastern Central Alps between the Stubai Alps and the Hohe Tauern and to the Kaiser Mountains in the east.

The Gufferthütte (formerly Ludwig-Aschenbrenner-Hütte) located north of the mountain, beyond the Schneidjoch , is named after the mountain .
