Vesulspitze, Mountain summit in Samnaun Alps, Austria

Vesulspitze is a 3,089-metre summit in the Samnaun Alps, the highest peak of the group's northern ridge, separated from the Bürkelkopf by the 2,804-metre Vesulscharte. The mountain is built entirely of Bündnerschiefer, a brittle rock series of limestone, slate, sandstone and conglomerate that forms extensive scree and makes the rock poor for climbing.

Josef Anton Specht made the first recorded ascent of the Vesulspitze in 1866. The peak, the highest of the Samnaun Alps north of the Zeblasjoch, was climbed via the Velillalpe and the southwest flank, a route rated UIAA grade I. The south ridge (grade II) and northwest ridge (grade III) offer harder alternatives.

The first recorded ascent was made in 1866 by Josef Anton Specht. The usual route from Ischgl runs over the Velillalpe and the southwest flank, with climbing difficulties of UIAA grade I; the south ridge is grade II and the northwest ridge grade III. The rock is Bündnerschiefer, brittle and prone to scree, so it is poorly suited to climbing.

The best access is through the towns of Ischgl and Kappl, which both offer equipment rental and mountain guide services. The area is best reached during periods of stable weather, especially in warmer months.

The Vesulspitze is built entirely of Bündnerschiefer, a brittle rock that breaks into loose scree and makes the peak poor for climbing. Its first recorded ascent was made in 1866 by Josef Anton Specht. The 2,804-metre Vesulscharte separates it from the neighbouring Bürkelkopf to the south.
