Krottenspitze

Krottenspitze is a mountain peak in the Allgäu Alps located along the Bavarian-Tyrolean border. The summit sits on dolomite rock formations and connects to nearby peaks through saddle passages.

The first recorded ascent took place in 1854 during survey operations. This early exploration marked the start of mountaineering activity on this peak.

The mountain forms part of the traditional border between Bavaria and Tyrol, representing centuries of alpine culture between German and Austrian communities.

Reaching the summit requires solid climbing skills and mountaineering experience. The route crosses unmarked terrain where conditions vary with the season.

The northwest face holds a natural cirque called Märzle that retains snow into early summer. This feature serves as a recognizable landmark for climbers navigating the mountain.
