Gehrenspitze, Mountain summit in Leutasch, Austria

Gehrenspitze is a 2,367 m summit in the eastern Wetterstein range in Tirol, standing south of the main crest above the Leutasch valley. Its 500-metre north face drops into the Puittal, while the south flank has steep grass and scree with broad belts of dwarf pine. The usual ascent follows the west ridge on a well-marked path from the Scharnitzjoch.

The Gehrenspitze's documented routes are tied to the Scharnitzjoch (2048 m), the saddle separating it from the Wetterstein main ridge. The Erinnerungshütte of the Akademischer Alpenverein München stands at 2083 m above the yoke, but it is not open to the public. The usual ascent follows the well-marked west ridge, reached from Leutasch-Klamm via the Wettersteinhütte (1717 m) or Wangalm (1753 m), or through the Puittal.

The Gehrenspitze is climbed mainly from the Leutasch hamlets of Gasse and Klamm, with the Wettersteinhütte (1717 m) and Wangalm (1753 m) as bases. The Erinnerungshütte of the Akademischer Alpenverein München at 2083 m above the Scharnitzjoch is not open to the public, so the marked west-ridge path is the usual route.

The usual ascent starts from Leutasch-Gasse or Leutasch-Klamm and leads via the Wettersteinhütte (1717 m) or Wangalm (1753 m) to the Scharnitzjoch (2048 m), then along the well-marked west ridge to the summit. The southeast route through the "Nazenlehn" gully and over the east ridge is now considered barely passable. The north face climbing routes (UIAA III–V) are rarely climbed because of loose rock and rockfall.

On clear days, the summit reveals views of both the Karwendel mountains and the complete Wetterstein chain at once. This rare vantage point makes the climb rewarding for those seeking panoramic perspectives.
