Reither Spitze, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

Located in the Karwendel Alps, Reither Spitze reaches an elevation of 2,374 meters with its dolomite rock formation defining the southwestern end of the Erlspitze Group.

The mountain's name originates from the village of Reith bei Seefeld, with past quarrying activities extracting Ichthyol oil-bearing slate containing fish fossils near its base.

The Nördlinger Hut, positioned at 2,239 meters, functions as the highest mountain refuge in the Karwendel region, providing shelter for mountaineers throughout climbing seasons.

Access to the summit involves a twenty-minute climb from Nördlinger Hut, which can be reached through a one-hour walk from the Härmelekopf cable car station.

The mountain's geological composition includes upper main dolomite surrounded by oil-bearing Seefeld beds, contributing to the area's ecological system and research opportunities.
