Stüdl

Stüdl is a geographical feature. It is a peak in the Venediger Group of the Hohe Tauern mountain range in Austria. It reaches an elevation of 3,803 meters above sea level. The mountain is named after the Austrian alpinist Johann Stüdl. It is a popular destination for mountaineers and climbers. The summit offers panoramic views of the surrounding Alpine landscape.

The first ascent of Stüdl was made in 1858 by Josef von Hauer and his companions. The mountain is part of the Hohe Tauern National Park, which is known for its diverse flora and fauna. The Venediger Group itself is characterized by its glacial terrain and numerous high peaks. Stüdl is considered one of the more accessible high peaks in the region, though it still requires proper mountaineering equipment and experience.

Routes to the summit often start from the Johann-Stüdl-Hütte, a mountain hut located at 2,802 meters. This hut serves as a base for climbers and hikers. The ascent typically involves navigating glaciers, rock scrambling, and potentially ice climbing depending on the season and route. Safety precautions, such as using crampons and ice axes, are essential for a successful and safe climb. The climbing season is generally from late spring to early autumn.
