Fallenbacherspitze

The Fallenbacherspitze (also: Fallenbacher Spitze , Fallenbacher-Spitze ) in the Austrian state of Tyrol is a 2,723 meter high rocky peak in the Lechtal Alps . Due to its remoteness and the lack of a marked trail, the mountain is rarely climbed.

Location and surroundings

The Fallenbacherspitze is located in the middle of the Lechtal Alps, about eight kilometers south of Bach . In addition to the main summit (2,723 m), the mountain range has another, significantly lower peak in the southeast ridge, the Gamskarlespitze (2,469 m). It is bordered in the east and south by the Alperschon valley, which rises from Madau , in the south-west it continues over the Gamskarscharte and the Fallenbacher Turm (2,704 m) to the Feuerspitze (2,852 m). The Fallbacher Kar is located in the West side of the mountain and leads to the middle back (2.625 m) and Holzgauer Wetterspitze (2,895 m). In the Fallenbacher Tal north of the mountain there is a small lake, the Fallenbacher See . In the wider area of Fallenbacherspitze also lie in the southwest Vorderseespitze the (2,889 m) and to the east, beyond the Alperschontals, free peak (2,884 m). This means that some of the largest and most impressive peaks in the Lechtal Alps are located within a radius of less than three kilometers from the Fallenbacherspitze.

Bases and tours

The Fallenbacherspitze is rarely climbed. Bach or Madau are ideal valley locations. The simplest, albeit unmarked, path leads from the Alperschon valley over the Gamskarle and the southwest ridge to the flat summit structure. The difficulty is mostly in the I., with one position in the II. Difficulty level (UIAA) .
