Alpspitze, Limestone summit in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

The Alpspitze reaches 2,628 meters above sea level, forming a distinct pyramid shape in the Northern Limestone Alps near Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

J. Burger completed the first documented climb of the Alpspitze in 1825, ascending through the eastern slope of this limestone formation.

The summit cross, placed in 1946 by Richard Weber, Kaspar Jocher, and the Kopling family, marks the highest point of this mountain.

The Alpspitzbahn cable car provides access to Osterfelderkopf station, where multiple climbing routes begin toward the summit through established via ferratas.

The AlpspiX viewing platform extends two intersecting metal walkways 13 meters over the cliff edge, creating an X-shape above the valley.

Location: Bavaria

Elevation above the sea: 2,628 m
