Mittagspitz

Mittagspitz is a mountain summit in the Rätikon range of the Eastern Alps, rising to 1,857 meters (6,093 feet) near the Swiss border. The peak features steep rocky slopes and alpine meadows that change color with the seasons.

Mittagspitz served as an important landmark for centuries as people traveled between Liechtenstein and Switzerland. The mountain shaped how local communities understood geography and planned their routes across the Alps.

Mittagspitz serves as a natural boundary point where Alpine traditions of Liechtenstein and Switzerland intersect through seasonal celebrations and customs.

Several hiking trails lead from the valley to the summit, with the eastern route offering the gentlest ascent. The trail is generally accessible from June through September, depending on snow and weather conditions at higher elevations.

From the summit, visitors can see the valleys of Liechtenstein, the Swiss Alps, and Austrian peaks all in a single view. This rare perspective reveals how close three countries actually are when viewed from this mountain vantage point.
