The Zwölferkofel or Zwölfer for short ( Italian Croda dei Toni ) is a 3,094  m high rocky summit in the Sesto Dolomites .

The Zwölfer shows its front side from the north from the Bachern Valley , for example from the ascent path to the Zsigmondyhütte : To the left of the main summit, also known as the Hoher Zwölfer , the Kleine Zwölfer 2917  m slm and the Kleinste Zwölfer with the bizarre rock needles of the Vicentine Ladies join, to the right there is something lower western pre-summits separated from the Hoher Zwölfer by a clear notch. To the south follow the Mittlere Zwölfer 3011  m slm , Italian Croda A. Berti and the Südliche Zwölfer as well as some other elevations.

Of the massif ran until the annexation of South Tyrol after the First World War , the border between Austria and Italy , today it carries the border between South Tyrol and the Province of Belluno . The South Tyrolean shares are placed under protection in the Drei Zinnen nature park .

The Zwölferkofel is a part of the Sesto sundial which the population Sesto fairly reliable determination of the time of day allowed based on the sun's position (e).

The first ascent of the Zwölferkofel was achieved by the local mountain guides Johann and Michel Innerkofler on September 28, 1874 through the so-called ice gully between the Middle and Hohem Zwölfer. Today's normal route gives way to the bottom of the gullied ice channel in the neighboring rocks. It is a route in the third difficulty of the UIAA scale that of Michel and Johann Innerkofler with J. Reichl and M. Simon on September 6, 1887 first ascent was.
