They also enclose the Valler Valley in the west, form the mountain chain with the Pfitscher Valley and extend eastwards into the municipalities of Mühlwald and Terenten. The most prominent peaks in the municipality of Vintl include the Niederer Weißzint (3,263 m) and the Grabspitze (3,068 m s.l.m.) near the Pfunderer Joch, the highest peak on the ridge between the Pfitscher valley and Weitenberger Kar, the Wurmaulspitze (3,022 m s.l.m.), the highest summit west of the Weitenberger Alm, the Napfspitze (2,888 m s.l.m.) south of the Eisbruggjoch col, the Hochgrubbachspitze (2,819 m), the highest point in the eastern Pfunderer and, in front of it, the Eidechsspitze (2,738 m s.l.m.), the Hausberg of Vintl. A well-known hiking trail is the Pfunderer Ridgeway starting from Sterzing and leading up through the Pfunderer mountains to the area of Bruneck.
