The Hohe Wand is a 3289 m high mountain on the border between the Austrian state of Tyrol and the Italian province of South Tyrol in the main ridge of the Zillertal Alps .
Location and surroundings
The mountain rises between the Zamser Grund in the rearmost Zillertal , the Valser Tal and the Pfitscher Tal . It forms the border between the catchment areas of the Inn tributaries Ziller and Sill and the Eisack zur Etsch , and belongs to the main Alpine ridge on the watershed between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The Stampflkees , where the Zamser Bach rises, extends northeast in the Zillertal Zamser Grund . To the northwest lies the Aschatenferner , a glacier remnant in the headwaters of the Zeisenbach in the Innervals . On the southwestern roof there is a wide high kar above St. Jakob in Pfitsch , which is partly still a disappearing rock glacier .
To the west of the Zillertal main ridge , after the Pfitschscharte, rises the Kraxentrager ( 2999 m above sea level ). The main ridge runs south-east over the Grawandkofel ( 2835 m above sea level ) to the Pfitscher Joch . To the north, at the Sagwandspitze ( 3237 m above sea level ), the Tux main ridge begins in a north-easterly direction, which shortly afterwards culminates in the Olperer ( 3476 m above sea level ).
