The Schlicker Seespitze, at 2,804 m (AA), is the highest peak in the Kalkkögel range in Austria's Stubai Alps, and the southwestern cornerstone of the chain. This mountain, known for being extremely prone to landslides, is a good observation point. It is located near the village of Schlick.
From Schlick, the mountain appears like a deeply clefted rock massif with a huge southern arête crowned by the rock pinnacles of the Schlicker Manndln. From the other side, it resembles a crumbling, gashed peak rising above its scree slopes. The isolated Seejoch tower soars prominently over the Seejöchl saddle.
