== Summit block == The Vorderseespitze is made from the sedimentary rock, main dolomite and is the highest main dolomite summit of the Northern Limestone Alps. On its northeast flank lies the little, tongue-shaped and heavily crevassed Vorderseeferner, the largest glacier of the Lechtal Alps. The mountain is separated from the Aperriesspitze (2,588 m) by the Hinterseejoch (2,482 m). To the west of this saddle, in a cirque, lies the lake of Hintersee, east of the col is lake of Vordersee which gives the mountain its name. The neighbouring peak to the north is the Feuerspitze.
