Mittagspitz, Mountain summit in Liechtenstein.

Mittagspitz is a mountain in Liechtenstein reaching 1,857 metres (6,093 ft), in the Rätikon range of the Eastern Alps, close to the Swiss border and east of the town of Balzers. The Rätikon foothills cover more than half of the principality.

Mittagspitz lies in the Rätikon range of the Eastern Alps, east of Balzers and close to the Swiss border. The Rätikon foothills cover more than half of Liechtenstein, and the country's 2023 statistical handbook counted 43 mountains between 1,450 and 2,599 metres. The summit stands at 1,857 metres, below the treeline that runs at about 2,000 metres in Liechtenstein.

The name Mittagspitz follows an Alpine naming pattern: "Mittag" refers to midday, and peaks so named are often those on which the sun stands at midday as seen from the valley below. The mountain rises east of Balzers, above the Rätikon slopes where alpine flowers and evergreen forest cover the lower ground.

Mittagspitz lies east of Balzers, close to the Swiss border, and is reached on foot from the valley; no road or lift goes to the summit. The upper slopes lie above the treeline, which in Liechtenstein runs at about 2,000 metres, so the top is open rock and alpine ground. Check snow and weather before setting out, since the high ground holds snow outside the summer months.

Mittagspitz lies east of Balzers, close to the Swiss border, and its 1,857-metre summit stays below Liechtenstein's 2,000-metre tree line, so the upper slopes remain wooded rather than bare rock. Liechtenstein's 2023 statistical handbook counted 43 mountains between 1,450 and 2,599 metres, a list that excludes peaks whose summits lie outside the country.
