Lütispitz, Mountain summit at 1987 meters in canton St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Lütispitz is a mountain peak in the Appenzeller Alps located between the Luteren and Säntisthur valleys. Grassy slopes characterize the terrain from base to summit cross.
The peak emerged as a natural boundary between the municipalities of Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann and Nesslau from the early modern period onward. This role has shaped its geographical significance across generations.
Local mountaineering groups maintain a summit register at the cross, allowing visitors to record their ascents following Swiss Alpine traditions.
The easiest route starts at Windenpass and follows a marked trail to the summit in about one hour. Hikers should wear sturdy boots and bring weather-appropriate clothing as conditions change rapidly at altitude.
Lake Gräppelen sits below the southern face at approximately 1300 meters elevation. This natural water source offers hikers a refreshing spot and a quiet place to rest during their mountain journey.
