Description of mountain:
Hochfeiler (Italian: Gran Pilastro) is, at 3,510 meters, the highest peak of the Zillertal Alps and lies on the border between Austria and Italy. The peak is very popular among mountaineers as it is relatively easily accessible, and reaching the summit does not require glacier travel, which is rare in the Alps for such an elevation. From the summit, which features a large cross, there is a superb view of much of the Zillertal Alps; the High Tauern and Dolomites are also clearly visible. The first ascent was made by Paul Grohmann, Georg Samer, and Peter Fuchs on July 24, 1865.
