Leilachspitze

Leilachspitze is a summit in the Allgäu Alps composed of dolomite rock, displaying the pale limestone cliffs typical of this alpine range. The mountain's vertical walls and ridges form a dramatic silhouette when viewed from surrounding valleys.

The mountain formed during the Triassic period, reflecting millions of years of sedimentation and rock formation that shaped the Dolomites. Its dolomite composition developed through ancient marine environments and subsequent geological transformations.

Local mountaineering traditions in Tyrol include regular ascents to Leilachspitze, which has become integral to regional alpine climbing practices.

The mountain is accessible to experienced climbers starting from Rauth or Landsberger Hut, with multiple approach routes available. Proper mountaineering gear and stable weather are necessary conditions for a safe summit attempt.

The summit stands approximately 6,6 kilometers from its parent peak Stallkarspitze, making it geographically isolated enough to be recognized as a distinct landmark. This separation gives it its own climbing identity within the broader mountain complex.
