The Kreuzspitze is a mountain in the Schnalskamm group of the Ötztal Alps. It is one of the tallest peaks in its area.
Access roads and normal climbing route[edit]
To access the mountain you walk from Vent in the direction of Martin Busch hut which is at 2501 meters above the sea. This is a walk up, and it is normally free of snow in the summer time. Plan between 4 and 5 hours from Vent to the summit. From the village to the hut takes 2 to 3 hours.
Vent is at around 1900 meters above the sea level and it is accessible by car following a rather good road from Solden (Soelden, Sölden).
