Elferspitze 2505m

Leírás

Every day at 11 am the sun lights up its back to present it in the spotlight, as seen from Neustift, however some of its glory is hidden shortly thereafter. You must hike up the Elfer to capture all of its beauty because at close range its rocky towers and spikes are much more impressive. Even though the blunt Dolomite rocks situated on a foundation of primary rock and the rocky formation of the Elferspitze and its Elfer towers may remind you of the Dolomites, the “home mountain” of the Neustift inhabitants with its glacial peaks of the Stubai Alps knows where it belongs. Proud and glorious on the one hand, shy and insecure on the other, the Elfer knows how to confound its spectators. While the summit cross at the eastern Elfer tower (2,499 m a.s.l.) leads you to believe it is the highest point, the main summit, also known as Elferkofel (2,505 m a.s.l.), doesn’t want to be forgotten.
