The Reither Spitze is a mountain in the

Tyrol that, thanks to its location at the southwestern end of the Erlspitze Group, is particularly well known for its great views of the surrounding area from its summit. Its name is derived the village of Reith bei Seefeld
, which lies at its southwestern foot.

The Schlossbach, a tributary of the River Inn, rises on the mountainside.
