Rotbühelspitze, Mountain summit in Silvretta Alps, Austria.
Rotbühelspitze is a mountain peak in the Silvretta Alps standing at 2,852 meters. Its western side features steep slopes and exposed rock, while the surrounding terrain transitions gradually toward the valleys below.
The name comes from the reddish color of the rock formations, which early mountaineers used as a natural landmark for orientation. This distinctive feature helped travelers navigate their routes across the mountains.
Local mountaineering clubs organize yearly summit expeditions that maintain traditional climbing routes and document changes in the mountain's geological features.
The trail starts near Vergalda and follows marked paths through Wintertal valley toward the summit. Allow about 4 hours for the hike and bring gear suited to mountain weather conditions.
On clear days, the summit offers views of both Austrian and Swiss territory. Multiple glaciers become visible in the distance during autumn mornings.
