Litnisschrofen

Litnisschrofen is a mountain peak at 2068 meters in the Allgäu Alps characterized by steep limestone faces. The massif provides multiple routes of varying difficulty for walkers and climbers to reach the summit.

During the 19th century, local shepherds created initial pathways to access high-altitude pastures, establishing what would become modern hiking routes. These early trails formed the foundation for how people approach this peak today.

The summit draws mountaineers and hikers who come to experience the exposed limestone terrain and the high-altitude setting. The peak remains an important destination for those seeking solitude and connection with the Allgäu Alps environment.

Easier approaches start from the Gräner Ödenalpe chairlift base, providing a quicker way to gain elevation. The steeper northeast routes demand rock climbing experience and proper technical gear.

From the top, you can see both the Haldensee lake and the Tannheimer Valley at the same time, two contrasting landscapes in a single view. The boundary between Austria and Germany is marked through this area.
