The Öfnerspitze is a 2,576 m (2,575 m in Austrian maps) high, rocky mountain in the Allgäu Alps.

Location and area

The Öfnerspitze lies southeast of the Krottenspitze and is joined to it by a flat saddle.

Ascent

There are no marked trails to the Öfnerspitze. The easiest approach branches off the path to the Muttlerkopf and is partly marked by cairns and difficult to find. It requires sure-footedness and experience in navigating through trackless terrain. For this reason the Öfnerspitze is relatively rarely climbed; in addition the nearby Großer Krottenkopf is higher and has a view that is just majestic if not more so.
