Noppenspitze, Mountain summit in the Allgäu Alps, Austria.

Noppenspitze is a 2,594-metre rocky summit in the central Hornbach chain of the Allgäu Alps. Its southeastern arête, with jagged teeth and rock slabs, separates the Sattelkar and Noppenkar cirques, while to the north a steep rock face drops 300 metres into the wooded Hornbach valley.

The summit was first climbed in 1890 and remained little visited for decades afterward. This difficult terrain has attracted only a small number of climbers throughout the years.

The name Noppenspitze refers to the knobby rock teeth of its southeastern arête, which separate the Sattelkar and Noppenkar cirques. The grassy ridge of the Häselgehrberg forks off behind the Luxnach Saddle, and the summit book kept since 2006 records only about 5 to 15 ascents a year.

Reaching the top requires advanced climbing skills and experience on exposed terrain. There are no marked trails, so careful route finding and preparation are essential before heading up.

Only a handful of experienced climbers reach the summit each year, making it one of the quieter peaks in the range. This isolation gives the mountain an undisturbed and remote character that rewards the effort.
