The Wolfendorn is one of the most rewarding summits to hike in the Sterzing area. Due to the exposed rock peak, we enjoy a unique panoramic view of the surrounding glaciers and high mountain groups, from the Zillertal Alps to the Stubai Alps. Because of the limestone rock, the edelweiss blooms especially beautifully.

Author’s recommendation

Hiking without a car: This route is especially suitable for arrival and departure using public transport.
