Läuferspitze, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria.
Läuferspitze is a mountain summit in the Allgäu Alps rising to 1958 meters and displaying distinctive dolomite rock formations. The slopes descend steeply on multiple sides, creating the mountain's striking profile.
The mountain's name appeared first in documents around 1580, replacing the earlier designation 'Haller Kopf'. This naming change represents a significant moment in the region's geographical record.
The mountain serves as a familiar landmark for hikers exploring the region and links several mountain huts along various routes. Many visitors seek it out as a destination for their walking and climbing adventures.
Reaching the summit requires basic climbing skills at difficulty grade I, particularly from the northern ridge. Safety cables are installed along the climbing route to assist with secure progress.
The mountain sits near the Füssener Jöchle cable car station, allowing climbers to reach the upper area by mechanical lift. This proximity to the cable car makes the area accessible to less experienced hikers as well.
