The Hochalmspitze (formerly also Hochalpenspitze ) is at an altitude of 3360  m above sea level. A. the highest point in the Ankogel group in the Hohe Tauern . As a counterpart to the Glockner , it is also called "Tauern Queen" or "Tauern Princess". It is popularly called Der Hochalmer . It is located east of Mallnitz in Carinthia .

location

The Hochalmspitze has two peaks, the lower Schneeige Hochalmspitze is already gapped out and the higher Apere Hochalmspitze carries the summit cross. In the past, the Großelendkopf, now regarded as an independent summit, was also regarded as the summit of the Hochalmspitze. Between the four distinctive ridges lie the Großelendkees glaciers in the north, Hochalmkees in the east and the smaller Trippkees in the south and Winkelkees in the west.

In the south the Mallnitzer Scharte ( 2673  m ) separates the Hochalmspitze from the Reisseckgruppe and in the north lies the Kölnbreinspeicher . The main ridge to the Ankogel continues to the northwest .

Routes

The normal route leads from the Gießener Hütte over the southeast ridge ("Rudolstädter Weg") ( UIAA I , partially insured). This path was first walked in 1892 by Fritz Kordon and his companions.

The well-known long and more difficult (UIAA II despite insurance) "Detmolder Ridge" leads over the southwest ridge, the first ascent of which O. Chiari and K. Dürr succeeded in 1877.

history

In the 1970s, a glacier ski area was planned on the Hochalmspitze. In 1988 the Austrian Alpine Association succeeded in acquiring the Hochalmspitze and 7.5 km² of adjoining glacier area at an auction, thereby averting technical development. The purchase price at that time was 1.12 million schillings and was raised by a single major donor.
