The Vorderseespitze is a mountain in the Lechtal Alps, Tyrol, Austria. At it is the eighth highest peak in the Lechtal Alps. The Lech Valley Ridgeway (Lechtaler Höhenweg) runs over its southeastern flank from Kaiserjochhaus to the Ansbacher Hut. According to the literature it was first climbed in 1855 by locals from Kaisers in the Lech Valley.
== 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.
