Summit Tour Juppenspitze
-
Höhenprofil
Rewarding summit tour to a rarely climbed summit with a wonderful view into the Bregenzerwald, over to the Mohnenfluh and to Oberlech / towards Tannberg with the Skyspace.
The Juppenspitze is a rarely visited summit in the Lech hiking area. Located directly next to the higher and more distinctive Mohnenfluh above Oberlech, this summit is nevertheless a worthwhile destination with a magnificent view. The majority of the ascent to the summit is freshly marked, but there is no path and the orientation is done by the white-blue-white markings. These were renewed in the summer of 2018, so finding the way is not difficult. However, you should avoid this summit in case of bad visibility / uncertain weather forecast. Stability and freedom from dizziness are also required in the last area before the summit.
A visit to Skyspace Lech is a magical experience and is definitely worthwhile.

Directions
From the bus stop in Oberlech you follow the signs towards Skyspace Lech / Kriegeralpe. Directly behind the Skyspace Lech a narrow path leads through a ravine towards Auenfeld. At the Untere Gaisbühel Alpe a path branches off to the left, which you follow in the direction of the striking Mohnenfluh. After a few metres you cross a small stream and the path is only a steep uphill path. The path climbs steeply in serpentines, the view to Zürs and across to the Warth Schröcken ski area is rewarding for every effort. Below the Rotschrofen cable car, you turn right over the flat area to the distinctive markings. From here the paths separate to the summit of Juppenspitze and Mohnenfluh. The path leads between the stone fields to the summit structure, which is reached via a steep field. The last few metres then lead over rocks to the summit cross. The view into the Bregenzerwald & to Schröcken is magnificent.
