Rothornspitze

Rothorn is a mountain summit in the Allgäu Alps that rises to 2393 meters with steep slopes and exposed rock faces. The northern ridge route demands technical climbing ability and presents challenging passage sections.

A new summit cross was installed on the connecting route between Jöchelspitze and Ramstallspitze, marking its importance in regional mountaineering. This addition strengthened its place within established climbing networks in the area.

Local mountain guides maintain multiple marked trails to the summit, preserving traditional Alpine climbing routes for generations of mountaineers to experience.

The ascent typically begins from the Jöchelspitzbahn mountain station, with the route covering approximately 12.8 kilometers. Most climbers should plan for about six hours to complete the entire journey.

The composition of main dolomite rock creates natural formations that distinguish this summit from other peaks in the Hornbachkette. These geological features shape the mountain's appearance and influence climbing routes.
