Aleitenspitze
The Aleitenspitze is a mountain, , in the Kitzbühel Alps in Austria. It is one of the highest peaks on the main crest of the Kitzbühel Alps. It is usually climbed as part of an ascent of the nearby Schafsiedel (2,447 m) from the New Bamberg Hut, not least because of the 3 mountain lakes that are passed en route: the photogenic lower lake, the green middle lake and the rock-rimmed upper lake. Route to the summit. The valley of the "Kurzer Grund" in the Kelchsau is the starting point of the most commonly used approach route. It begins  near an inn, the "Gasthof Wegscheid" (1,148 m), which is accessible by car over a metalled toll road. There are numerous unmetalled car parking areas near the inn. The path climbs steeply up the wooded slopes above a mountain stream, the "Kurzer Grund Ache", to the New Bamberg Hut (1,756 m) that perches on a hillside just above an Alpine meadow nestling amongst the surrounding peaks. Behind the hut, the path branches off to the Schafsiedel, climbing the steep, grassy slopes in a westerly direction to the picturesque Lower Wildalm Lake ("Unterer Wildalmsee", 1,937 m), which is often frequented by  anglers. The trail then climbs up to the Middle Wildalm Lake ("Mittlerer Wildalmsee", 2,028 m), the largest of the 3 lakes by area, passing around it to the north on a low ridge before climbing steeply once more to the Upper Wildalm Lake ("Oberer Wildalmsee", 2,324 m), one of the highest in the Kitzbühel Alps. The path follows the lakeshore for a short distance, before striking for the summit on a horseshoe-shaped ridge above the lake. The climb to the Schafsiedel is particularly steep. From there the ridgeline curves away to the Aleitenspitze. The crossing is rocky but not  difficult. The descent to the New Bamberg Hut may be made by continuing down the ridgeline or by returning to the Schafsiedel.
