Nice summit with a neat summit cross. The cross is clearly visible in front of the station and the ascent is quick. Approximately 1 hour walk, but on rock. Stranding is in good shape. Great view from above.

As part of the Northern Karwendel Range, the Western Karwendelspitze offers a fascinating mountain backdrop that attracts nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. At 2,385 meters high, the summit promises an unforgettable view over the Karwendel Mountains, the Karwendel Valley, the Isar Valley, and far beyond. The diverse ascent options - be it via the Dammkar, the Karwendelsteig or easily with the cable car from Mittenwald - make the mountain a popular destination for hikers and mountaineers.

A special highlight is the partially wire rope-insured path that leads from the Karwendelbahn mountain station to the summit. For those looking for a greater challenge, the Mittenwalder Höhenweg, which leads past the Mittenwalder Hütte, offers more demanding climbing sections. In winter, the Dammkar turns into a paradise for freeriders, with the longest ski tour and freeride descent in Germany.

Regardless of the time of year, a tour to the Westliche Karwendelspitze requires good planning, the right equipment and respect for the alpine conditions. Sure-footedness, a head for heights and appropriate physical preparation are essential for a safe and enjoyable mountain experience.
