Feuerspitze, Mountain summit in Lechtal Alps, Austria.
Feuerspitze is a mountain summit in the Lechtaler Alps that rises above the surrounding peaks with a distinctive reddish north-facing rock face. The colored stone creates a striking visual landmark visible from the Kaisers valley below.
The mountain takes its name from the red coloration of its north-facing rock wall, which glows like fire in sunlight. This striking visual quality shaped how local people referred to the peak over time.
Local mountaineers maintain several stone milestones along the hiking paths to assist travelers in navigating through the alpine terrain.
The hike from Kaisers village takes several hours and involves steep terrain on certain sections of the path. Proper hiking boots and a map are helpful, as the route crosses exposed alpine meadows and rocky passages.
The peak sits near the Fallenbachferner glacier, and traces of its past movement appear as rock debris scattered across the landscape below. These glacial deposits tell a story of how the ice shaped this valley over centuries.
