Lütispitz, Mountain summit at 1987 meters in canton St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Lütispitz is a grassy mountain in the western Alpstein range of the Swiss canton of St. Gallen. Its summit, at 1,987 m, lies at the eastern end of a west-east ridge that forms the boundary between Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann to the south and Nesslau to the north. A cross with a summit register stands on top.
The summit ridge marks the municipal boundary between Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann to the south and Nesslau to the north, both in canton St. Gallen. The border follows the crest from west to east, reaching its highest point at 1987 m. A cross with a summit register stands on the peak.
The summit cross carries a summit register in which climbers write their names and the date of their ascent. The border between Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann and Nesslau runs along the summit ridge, so a walker crosses from one municipality to the other within a few steps.
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.
The Gräppelensee lies south below the summit at 1307 m, not about 1300 m, and the easiest approach to the Lütispitz starts from the Windenpass at 1630 m, which links the Luteren valley to the north with the Säntisthur valley to the south. The summit ridge itself carries the municipal boundary between Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann and Nesslau.
