Große Bischofsmütze

The Große Bischofsmütze (German: "great bishop's mitre") is the highest peak in the Gosaukamm range of the Dachstein Mountains, Austria.

The mountain is in the state of Salzburg, near the border with Upper Austria, and forms part of the larger Northern Limestone Alps.

The "Normal route" has an approach from the south passing through the Mützenschlucht, and on the UIAA climbing scale is graded III.

[7] The Alpine club hut Hofpürglhütte [de] that is directly south of the mountain is a base for many ascents.

With a history of rockfalls and a particular fragile eastern side, the mountain is currently monitored to identify changes to its internal structure and assess risk of rock collapse.
