Berggipfel im Nationallpark Berchtesgaden ; 2.712 m hoch.
Am häufigsten wird die Südspitze bei der Watzmannüberschreitung erklettert. Hier ist die Südspitze nach dem Hocheck und der Mittelspitze der dritte und letzte Gipfel. Der einfachste Abstieg vom Gipfel geht in südwestlicher Richtung hinab zur Wimbachgrießhütte. Auf dem Weg befindet sich auf 1.852 m mit dem Goldbründl wieder die erste Wasserstelle.

Weiters führt der große Kletterklassiker Watzmann Ostwand auf die Südspitze.
