Wildspitze, Alpine summit in Ötztal Alps, Austria.

Wildspitze is an alpine peak in the Ötztal Alps, standing as one of the region's highest points and featuring a distinctive double summit. The terrain around both peaks is shaped by glaciers, with a rocky southern section contrasting against the snow-covered northern area.

The first attempt was made in 1847 by Hermann and Adolf Schlagintweit, who probably reached 3,552 m on the north-east ridge. In 1848 Leander Klotz, a guide and farmer from Rofen, climbed the south summit with an unnamed farmer. On 29 August 1861 Leander Klotz crossed from the south summit to the firn-covered north summit, then considered the main peak; snow melt has since lowered it to about 3,757 m, making the south summit the highest point.

The 1933 summit cross was carried up in pieces, assembled on the summit and replaced in 2010 by Vent guides using a helicopter. The old cross, cleaned and renovated, now stands on the southern bank of the Rofenache between Vent and the Rofenhöfe, the only spot in the valley with a view of the Wildspitze.

Most climbs start from the Breslauer Hut and cross glacier terrain on the way up, with ascent times around four hours. Climbers should prepare for changing terrain and elevation that demands proper gear and good physical conditioning.

The north summit was long considered the main peak: in 1861 Leander Klotz crossed from the south summit to it. Snow melt has since lowered it to about 3757 m, making the rocky south summit, at 3768 m, the highest point. The 1933 summit cross, carried up in pieces, was replaced by helicopter after 77 years and now stands by the Rofenache between Vent and the Rofenhöfe.
