Fallenbacherspitze, Mountain summit in Reutte district, Austria
Fallenbacherspitze is a mountain summit in the Alps in Reutte district with steep rocky formations and a prominent southwest ridge. Its structure is defined by a high plateau at the peak and its elevation of 2,723 meters (8,933 feet).
The mountain was developed later than neighboring peaks due to its remote location and technical climbing demands. Its eventual exploration reflects the growing skills of mountaineers who mastered more challenging routes.
The peak is known among regional climbing communities as a destination for experienced mountaineers. Local climbers use the southwest ridge route, passing on their knowledge of the mountain's challenges to others.
The ascent requires climbing experience and proper equipment, with the main route departing from the village of Bach through Alperschontal. Visitors should prepare for difficult conditions and start early to ensure sufficient daylight for the climb.
The summit overlooks Das Fallenbacher Kar, a cirque valley with distinctive rock formations. This view gives the mountain its name and often goes unnoticed by visitors focused solely on reaching the peak.
