Weißkamm
Sign in to saveAlso known as Weisskamm group
The heavily glaciated Weißkamm is an Alpine chain that includes the Weißkugel () and Wildspitze (), the two highest peaks in the Ötztal Alps. Starting from the Weißkugel the Weißkamm runs for about 20 kilometres to the northwest towards Sölden. Other ridges branch off the Weißkamm striking northwards. From west to east these are the Glockturmkamm, the Kaunergrat and the Geigenkamm. The Weißkugel is where the Weißkamm joins the Schnalskamm, which runs in an easterly direction.
