The Reither Spitze is an absolute classic of the region. Highlights include sweeping views over Seefeld, its inclusion in the legendary Karwendel High Trail and – just as legendary – the Kaiserschmarrn served at the Nördlinger Hütte just below the summit. This is a true pleasure hike for those who bring enough stamina. Good fitness is essential, but rest assured: not a single drop of sweat is in vain. The high-alpine scenery looks straight out of a picture book, and the ascent itself is wonderfully varied. After the first summit, the route continues across to the Seefelder Spitze and then back down into the valley. One thing is certain: it’s no coincidence that part of this trail bears the title “Königstour” (King’s Tour).

If your legs are still heavy from the previous day or the weather doesn’t fully cooperate, this stage can easily be shortened – details can be found in the route description. Sure-footedness and alpine experience are essential in any case, regardless of which variant you choose.
