Schneespitze (Monte della Neve) m. 3172
Schneespitze, or Monte della Neve, is a secluded peak situated inside Eastern Breonie Alps (Stubaier Alpen) and rising along the border between Italy, Alto Adige province, in South side and Austria in North side. This nice peak is surrounded by several other important summits, like the superb Tribulaun, having various different geological origins; Schneespitze is molded by dark metamorphic rock, while the close Tribulaun is molded by “dolomia”. Because of mountain’s secluded position, from the summit the mountaineer can enjoy an extraordinary view all around over
neighbouring valleys and towards the peaks running along Italy-Austria border and towards Dolomites.

A very interesting route inside a wild evironment.

Enter the glacier and climb a wide ice-gully leading to the upper snow-basin. From here climb straight the upper rocky slabs and snow’s slopes leading towards right to the rocky east ridge. Follow this ridge with easy climbing, reaching another wide snow-basin, Cross it heading to the summit cross well evident from here. A rocky and snow ending slope leads to the magnificent summit’s cross. Summit-Book.
