Ellmauer Halt

The Ellmauer Halt (2,344 m) is the highest peak in the mountain massif of the Wilder Kaiser in the Kaiser range (Northern Limestone Alps) in the Austrian state of Tyrol.

To the east is the summit of the Kapuzenturm, a striking and isolated rock pinnacle.

This shelter and emergency refuge has stood on the Ellmauer Halt since 1891, but is not weatherproof.

In any case the peak should only be climbed in good weather with dry conditions by experienced climbers with secure footwear, no fear of heights and climbing agility.

Due to the popularity of the Ellmauer Halt there is a high risk of falling rocks, especially on the normal path, the Gamsängersteig.
