Walser Hammerspitze, Mountain peak at Bavaria and Vorarlberg border, Germany and Austria.

Walser Hammerspitze is a mountain peak on the border between Bavaria and Vorarlberg, rising to approximately 2,170 meters in elevation. The peak features steep rocky slopes and marked trails that lead to the summit from established starting points.

Until July 2013 the summit had two names: German maps gave Hammerspitze (2260 m) and Schüsser (2170 m), while Austrian maps reversed them. The 1844 revised border description records "Schisser", called Hammerspitz on the Vorarlberg side. The renaming made the 2170 m peak Walser Hammerspitze and the 2260 m peak Oberstdorfer Hammerspitze, so emergency calls would be unambiguous.

The double name comes from two dialects: Hammer is Walser German for rock, while Schisser is Allgäu dialect for "the one throwing stones down". Until July 2013 German and Austrian maps labelled the two neighbouring peaks in opposite ways, so the summits were officially renamed to avoid confusion in emergencies. The 1844 border description already records both names.

The peak can be accessed from both the German and Austrian sides through established hiking routes. The Fiderepasshütte offers accommodation and serves as a stopping point for hikers approaching from either side.

The 1844 revised border description records the ridge as "Schisser", noting that the Vorarlberg side calls it Hammerspitz. The name Hammer comes from Walser German for rock, while Schisser is Allgäu dialect for "the one throwing stones down". In July 2013 the two peaks were officially renamed to end the confusion between German and Austrian maps.
