Known to many as simply the Spitzl, Salzburg Spitzl is one of the Pioneer Mountains in the center of the state and it gets its name from a large spire, or spitzl, that can be seen from the south. The nature of the rock means that the mountain is not suitable for technical climbing, but it is possible to hike or scramble to the summit. The large south face of the mountain is a popular destination for backcountry skiers in the winter, although all of the local dirt roads are closed to the public during the winter months.
