About

The Wetterspitzen are three of the rocky peaks on a mountain ridge in the Wetterstein mountains in the central part of the Eastern Alps in Germany. They lie two kilometres, as the crow flies, southwest of Germany's highest peak, the Zugspitze, on the border between the Austrian province of Tyrol and the German state of Bavaria. The Wetterspitzen form the southwest perimeter of the Zugspitze ledge (Zugspitzplatt); below and to the east is the ski region on the Schneeferner with its research station, the Schneefernerhaus.

The three peaks are the:

Northern Wetterspitze (Nördliche Wetterspitze) - 2,746 metres (9,009 ft) high;

Southern or Middle Wetterspitze (Südliche (Mittlere) Wetterspitze) - 2,750 metres (9,020 ft) high;

Eastern Wetterspitze (Östliche Wetterspitze) - 2,668 metres (8,753 ft) high.

The nearest mountain hut is Ehrwalder Alm located 1 724m/5 657ft S of the summit.
