Fiechter Spitze, Mountain summit in Karwendel, Austria
Fiechter Spitze is a 2299 meter peak in the Karwendel range with rocky cliffs and mountain pine belts covering its slopes. The summit occupies a commanding position in this mountain chain and looks out over surrounding valleys and ridges.
A summit cross was installed here in 1959, marking the growth of organized climbing routes through the Karwendel range. This event reflected broader developments in alpine access and mountaineering infrastructure during that era.
The peak draws its name from the Fiecht district in Vomp, a settlement visible far below in the Inn Valley. Local climbers have used these routes for generations, making it part of the regional mountaineering tradition.
The ascent takes about five hours and requires climbing skills up to grade III on some sections. Hikers should have experience with rocky terrain and check conditions beforehand, as weather can shift quickly at this elevation.
This peak marks the easternmost point of the Hinterautal-Vomper chain, with sharp drops plunging toward Stallental on its north face. Many climbers overlook this northern side, making it less trafficked and more wild feeling than other routes.
