This article is about several mountains in the Wetterstein range. For other mountains with this name, see Wetterspitze.
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 Wetterspitzen
The Wetterspitzen as part of the mountain ridge. Left: the Wetterwandeck; right: centre of the Eastern Wetterspitze: further right: the striking Middle Wetterspitze; far right: the Northern Wetterspitze.
A possible base for climbing the Wetterspitzen is the SonnAlpin restaurant (2,600 metres (8,500 ft)) on the Zugspitze Ledge, the terminal station of the Bavarian Zugspitze Rack Railway.
