Lagaunspitze, Mountain summit in South Tyrol, Italy

The Lagaunspitze (Italian: Punta di Lagaun) is a 3,438 m mountain in the Saldurkamm group of the Ötztal Alps, in South Tyrol. With the slightly lower Saldurspitze (3,433 m) about 300 m to the northwest it forms a twin summit. The Lazaunferner glacier lies to the north and the Lagaunferner to the south; the peak rises on a short side ridge above the inner Schnalstal.

The first ascent was made in 1876 by Carl Hecke with the mountain guide Gabriel Spechtenhauser. The Lagaunspitze has no marked trail and is climbed relatively rarely as a demanding high tour. Because a connecting ridge links it to the nearby Saldurspitze, both summits are often climbed together.

The German name Lagaunspitze and the Italian Punta di Lagaun both derive from the Lagaunferner, the glacier on the mountain's southern side; the northern glacier is the Lazaunferner. The peak lies in the municipality of Schnals in South Tyrol, where German and Italian are both official, so maps and signposts carry both forms.

The ascent demands advanced climbing skills and specialized equipment including ropes, crampons, and ice axes for glacier navigation. Summer is the best season to climb when conditions are most stable.

Its prominence of 422 meters creates a natural dividing line between different climate zones in the Ötztal Alps. This contrast noticeably shapes the plant and animal life on either side of the peak.
