Samspitze

Samspitze is a rocky peak in the Lechtal Alps that rises to about 2600 meters. From the summit, views open across neighboring ridges and valleys that form the wider mountain massif.

The peak was documented and surveyed by Alpine cartographers during the 19th century. This work helped establish better understanding of Alpine geology and regional mapping.

The mountain serves as a meeting point for climbing groups who gather annually to practice traditional Austrian mountaineering techniques.

The main route starts at the Ansbacher Hütte, located to the southeast of the summit. Marked trails lead upward from there, and hikers should have good fitness and head for heights.

The rock formation is primarily limestone with distinctive layering that sets it apart visually from nearby peaks. These patterns become clearly visible when you look closely at the exposed stone faces.
