Trettachspitze

Trettachspitze is a rocky summit in the Allgäu Alps displaying a distinctive horn-like shape visible from multiple viewpoints. Its steep rock faces create a striking vertical profile that dominates the surrounding landscape.

The first ascent occurred in 1855 when three brothers, including a 13-year-old, climbed from the Stillach valley to reach the summit. This climb marked an important moment in the exploration of the Allgäu Alps.

This summit forms part of a notable trio with Mädelegabel and Hochfrottspitze that draws climbers from across the region. The grouping holds special meaning within the local mountain culture and landscape.

Established climbing routes depart from Waltenberger Haus with varying difficulty levels depending on the chosen path. The northwestern ridge provides a more accessible option, while other routes require advanced climbing skills and experience.

The summit is composed of Main Dolomite, a rock formation particularly resistant to weathering and erosion. This geological composition contributes to the mountain's stable structure and longevity.
