Breitspitze is a modest but charming peak in the Austrian Alps of Vorarlberg, rising to 2203 m above sea level. It is a great choice for hikers seeking a quiet outing with scenic views, away from the crowds found on more famous Alpine summits.

The surroundings of Breitspitze offer a striking contrast – to the southwest, the terrain is distinctly mountainous and rugged, while to the northeast it softens into rolling hills. Wide grasslands and pastures dominate the landscape, turning lush green in summer and blanketed in snow during winter, creating postcard-worthy views. The area is sparsely populated, giving visitors a genuine sense of peace and remoteness.

• Schruns – the nearest larger town, about 18.4 km northwest of the peak, makes a good starting base for hikers
• The route crosses mountainous terrain and meadows – recommended for those with some high-mountain hiking experience

Although modest in height compared to Alpine giants, Breitspitze rises 66 meters above the surrounding terrain, and its base spans just 0.39 km wide – giving the peak a distinctive, easily recognizable silhouette among the neighboring hills.
