The Peitlerkofel ( Ladin Sass de Pütia , Italian Sass de Putia ) is at 2875  m the highest mountain in the Peitlerkofel group in the Dolomites in South Tyrol , Italy . It is located in the municipality of St. Martin in Thurn and the Puez-Geisler Nature Park .

Because of its peripheral location in the Dolomites and the steep north slopes, the Peitlerkofel is known as the north-western cornerstone of the Dolomites.

The 2,813 meter high western secondary peak is known as the Kleiner Peitler .

The hike to the summit requires from the col between Peitler's Small and Peitlerkofel on some climbing sections ( Level I ) surefootedness and head for heights . Safety ropes are installed here. The Kleine Peitler can be hiked.

A possible starting point is the Zanser Alm (1,689 m) near St. Magdalena in Villnöß . The ascent takes place via Gampenalm (2062 m), Schlüterhütte (2301 m) and Peitlerscharte (2357 m). You can also climb the Peitlerscharte from the Würzjoch or from Campill (Lad. Longiarü) in St. Martin in Thurn.

Near the Würzjoch, west of the Peitlerkofel, are the Alpe Fornella and the Ütia de Göma, where you can stop. There is also a snack station on the eastern side (towards Campill) , the Ütia Vaciara. A hiking trail leads around the Peitlerkofel.
