The Hochalmspitze (3,360 metres above the Adriatic (11,020 ft)) is located east of Mallnitz in the Austrian state of Carinthia. It is sometimes called "Tauern Queen" (German: Tauernkönigin) as a counterpart to the "Tauern King", the Grossglockner.

Glacier equipment required.
Descent via Dettmolder Grat or Steinerne Mandl back to the Gießener Hütte possible.
