Rappenspitze

Rappenspitze is a rocky peak in the Karwendel range with steep slopes and stony terrain. The mountain rises within the northern limestone Alps and becomes increasingly rocky toward the top with sparse vegetation.

The peak formed as part of the northern limestone Alps and has long marked the boundary between the towns of Eben am Achensee and Vomp. When mountaineering grew popular in the 1800s, it became a regular climbing destination in the region.

Climbers from across the region use the marked trails as part of their mountain experience in the Alps. The peak draws those who want to experience the rocky landscape and high altitude views on foot.

The route begins from Falzthurnalm and follows marked paths that grow steeper as you climb higher. Best hiking conditions occur in warmer months when snow and ice do not block the way.

From the summit you can see both the Karwendel mountains and the Achensee lake spread below at the same time. This rare vantage point allows visitors to observe two very different landscapes from one location.
