Gurtisspitze

Gurtisspitze is a mountain summit in Vorarlberg standing at 1,778 meters, characterized by steep slopes that rise prominently from the surrounding terrain. The ridges and faces create a rugged alpine landscape with significant elevation changes across the area.

The mountain formed millions of years ago during the Alpine mountain-building period through geological processes. These ancient events left behind the rocky structure we see today.

The Kuratienkirche Unsere Liebe Frau Mariä Heimsuchung at 904 meters serves as a traditional starting point for mountain expeditions.

Wear sturdy hiking boots and plan the climb in stable weather conditions, as the elevation brings significant temperature changes. Start early in the day to have enough daylight for the ascent and descent.

From this summit, hikers can continue to neighboring peaks including Zäwas-Heil Spitze and Spitztälispitz. These connected ridges allow multi-peak routes across a concentrated mountain cluster.
