Lachenspitze, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

Lachenspitze is a 2126 m summit in the Allgäu Alps of Tyrol, Austria, rising south of the small mountain lake Lache and above the Landsberger Hütte at 1810 m. Its 250 m north face holds a secured via ferrata rated C/D, opened in June 2009 by the DAV Landsberg am Lech section, with 265 m of climbing from entry to summit. The normal route climbs from the Vilsalpsee past the Traualpsee and over the Steinkarscharte at 1955 m.

The name Lachenspitze comes from the small mountain lake Lache on its north flank, recorded as "Lack" by Peter Anich in his Atlas Tyrolensis of 1774. A difficult via ferrata through the 250-metre north face, built by the Landsberg am Lech section of the German Alpine Club, opened in June 2009 and is rated C/D. A variant over the Östliches Lachenjoch (1905 m) and the north-east ridge has been closed since a rockfall in 2023.

The name comes from the small mountain lake Lache on the north flank, recorded as "Lack" by Peter Anich in his Atlas Tyrolensis of 1774. The Landsberger Hütte at 1810 m, run by the DAV Landsberg am Lech section, stands above the lake's western shore and serves as the base for the normal route.

The climb requires about 6 hours total, with a vertical ascent of about 1120 meters through varied terrain. Visitors should bring good footwear and climbing experience, especially for the more technical sections.
