Rinnenspitze

Description of mountain:
Rinnenspitze is a beautifully conical mountain rising above its namesake lake. Though it does not stand out in the vast Alpine range for its height or approach difficulty, it is likely the most visited three-thousander in its glaciated surroundings, which host a respectable number of outstanding Stubai Alps peaks.

The main reasons for its popularity lie in its status as one of the points on the "7 Summits of Stubai" circuit and the fact that, unlike most surrounding three-thousanders, the summer ascent is snow-free, requires less gear and experience, yet remains quite appealing. The summit offers a stunning panorama of the surrounding range, featuring the rocky fortress of the Sommerwand ridge and the peaks enclosing the glacier behind it, views of Rinnensee lake, and most of the key summits of the Alpine group, led by Schrankogel, Ruderhofspitze, and Östliche Seespitze.
