Persailhorn (elevation 2,347ย m (7,700ย ft)) is a summit in the Steinernes Meer of the Berchtesgaden Alps in the Austrian state of Salzburg.[1]
Alpinism
editThe Persailhorn is a prominent rocky summit above the valley of Saalfelden and above the lower Kienalkopf, where also the closest shelter, the Peter-Wiechenthaler hut is located. The next summit to the west is Mitterhorn.
There are two Via Ferrata B-C and an alpine hiking path from the hut that all lead to the summit.[2][3] Another alpine path, the Saalfeldener Hรถhenweg, leads over Mitterhorn and Breithorn to the hut Riemannhaus.
