The Alpspitz (1575 m) is a subsidiary peak of the Edelsberg. It lies on the northeastern edge of the Allgäu Alps, directly on the edge of the Alps. Important valley towns in the Alpspitz are Nesselwang to the north, within whose territory it is located, as well as Pfronten to the east and Jungholz to the southwest. Two kilometers to the west lies the independent Reuterwanne (1539 m).

The summit is easily accessible via forest roads and hiking trails. The quickest and shortest access is from the north via the mountain station of the Alpspitzbahn Nesselwang cable car, located on a saddle 75 m below the summit. Other routes lead, for example, via the ruins of Nesselburg Castle or the Maria Trost pilgrimage church. A wooden cross stands on the summit.

A wonderful view of Wertach, the Grüntensee, Nesselwang and in good weather the Vilstal and the Zugspitze massif.

Fantastic sunset, if you don't want to have as many people around you as on the Grünten. In a brisk walk from the car park at the valley station, it can be done in one hour via the waterfall and root path, usually 1.5-2h :)

Great view of the Grüntensee. However, a certain degree of surefootedness is required for the summit cross.
