The high tooth ( Italian : Dente Alto ) is 2924 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Stubai Alps on the border between Austria and Italy .
Location and surroundings
The Hohe Zahn is part of the main Alpine ridge that separates the Tyrolean Gschnitztal in the north from the South Tyrolean Pflerschtal in the south. The neighboring mountain in the west is the 3017 m high Weisswandspitze , to the northeast the ridge continues to the 2767 m high Pflerscher Pinggl and the 2599 m high Pflerscher Scharte .
East of the Hohe Zahn is the Sandessee with the Italian Tribulaunhütte ( 2369 m ), which is an important starting point for climbing the mountain. The Tiroler Höhenweg (Via Alta) leads as a marked trail between Tribulaunhütte and Magdeburger Hütte south just below the summit of the Hohe Zahn. From this path, the summit can be reached in a few minutes via a path. There is also a further increase of the Laponesalm ( 1472 m ) in Gschnitztal to the yoke between the High tooth and Weißwandspitze and then not difficult leads to the summit. There is a wooden summit cross that was renewed in 2010.
geology
The high tooth consists mainly of paragneiss , the typical rock of the Ötztal-Stubai crystalline, and in the lying position of amphibole gneiss.
