The Wetterstein peaks in the Wetterstein Mountains are the easternmost foothills of the Wetterstein main ridge , which runs east from the Meilerhütte towards Mittenwald . They are formed from the Upper Wettersteinspitze (also Great Wetterstein ) ( 2298 m cross summit, 2305 m main summit) in the west and the Lower Wettersteinspitze (also Gemskopf ) ( 2151 m ) in the east. The border between Germany and Austria runs over the two peaks .
From Mittenwald the path leads to the Obere Wettersteinspitze past Lautersee and Ferchensee . Path 875 begins west of Lake Ferchensee and heads south-west to the Gemsanger saddle. Some rock passages are insured with wire ropes. From there the marked path (rock I) runs to the summit.
