Älpelekopf, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany
Älpelekopf rises to 1,606 meters in elevation within the Allgäu Alps range, featuring a secondary peak connected by a southwestern ridge to Riffenkopf.
The mountain area contains two alpine cabins: an abandoned structure in Gerstruber Älpeles valley and the still-operating Lugenalpe to the north.
The surrounding valleys maintain traditional Alpine pastoral practices, evidenced by the preserved mountain cabins and grazing areas across the landscape.
The mountain lacks marked paths to its summit, requiring technical climbing experience and proper equipment for successful ascent via Gerstruber Älpele.
The ridges connecting Riffenkopf, Hahnenkopf, and Wannenkopf create a circular formation around the Gerstruber Älpeles valley beneath the summit.
