The Lussbach is a left tributary of the Pitze in Tyrol.

Its origin above ground lies in the basin of the Plangerossalpe . At the end of the valley basin, the stream drops steeply, partly as a waterfall, into the Pitztal and flows into the Pitze from the left at Plangeross .

The catchment area of the Lussbach is 9.6 km² and also includes the Plangerossferner . A total of 1.4 km² (15%) of the catchment area is glaciated (as of 1988). The highest point in it is the Watzespitze  with 3532  m above sea level. A.
