Lacherspitz, Mountain summit in the Bavarian Prealps, Germany

Lacherspitz is a mountain in the Bavarian Prealps that rises to 1,724 meters with a rocky peak accessed via steep alpine slopes. The terrain features exposed rock faces and narrow pathways typical of this mountain range.

The summit lies on the boundary between the municipalities of Bayrischzell and Oberaudorf. In 2004 a dispute arose over whether the Lacherspitz or the neighbouring Tagweidkopf (1,634 m) should bear the name Lacherspitze, and which should be called Tagweidkopf.

The name Lacherspitz comes from the Lacheralm and Lacherkar on its slopes, and in 2004 a dispute arose over whether this summit or the lower Tagweidkopf (1,634 m) should carry the name. The Lacher-Lift, a drag lift of the Wendelstein ski area, ends just below the summit, and east of the peak the Bundeswehr material cable car runs past to the Soinhütte.

The shortest approach starts at the B 307 near Sudelfeld, either at the car park by the pass or at the Wedelli lifts, and climbs through the Lacherkar. Routes also lead up from Bayrischzell via the Wendelsteiner Almen and from Osterhofen at the Wendelstein cable car car park. From the Wendelsteinhaus the summit is an easy walk, but the last metres to the cross need sure footing and light scrambling.

In summer the slopes attract hikers, while winter transforms them into ski touring terrain, creating two distinct mountain experiences on the same routes. This seasonal shift allows visitors to explore the peak under completely different conditions and activities.
