Ladinger Spitz, Mountain summit in Carinthia, Austria
Ladinger Spitz is a mountain summit in the Wolfsberg District that reaches 2079 meters in elevation as the highest point of the central Saualpe. From the peak, visitors can see across the surrounding mountain landscape and valleys below.
The mountain formed during the Alpine orogeny millions of years ago when tectonic plates collided and shaped the mountain range. This geological process created the distinctive peak structure seen today across the Saualpe.
Local mountaineering groups organize regular guided tours to the summit, maintaining traditional Alpine hiking practices through marked routes and shelters.
Hikers can start from Zechhütte and follow a marked trail to reach the summit in about three hours. The return journey takes a similar amount of time, making a full outing a reasonable day trip for experienced walkers.
The summit contains rare mineral deposits including Monazite and Rutile that interest mineral collectors and geology researchers. These geological features draw specialists who study the mineral composition and geological history of the region.
