Roggspitze, Mountain summit in Lechtal Alps, Austria.

Roggspitze is a 2747-meter summit in the Lechtal Alps featuring steep rock faces and limestone formations. The mountain offers multiple climbing routes varying in difficulty and technical demand.

The first ascent of Roggspitze was made in 1877 by Martin Josef Zudrell, a herdsman from Pazieltal. Older literature also calls the mountain Rockspitze, from the Rhaeto-Romanic rocca, meaning rock. The Stuttgarter Hütte at 2305 m later became the base for the normal route over the Erlispitzen and Roggscharte.

The name derives from the Rhaeto-Romanic word rocca, meaning rock, and older literature also calls the peak Rockspitze. The Stuttgarter Hütte at 2305 m serves as the base for the normal route, which crosses the western Erlispitze and reaches the summit in about two hours. The Robert-Bosch-Weg runs west below the peak between the Stuttgarter and Ulmer huts.

The climb begins from Stuttgarter Hütte by following the western Erlispitze trail through Roggscharte to the north ridge. The full ascent requires experience with mountain terrain and climbing skills plus stable weather conditions.

The limestone formations here are valued by climbers for their stable structure and texture quality for gripping. These particular characteristics allow for technically demanding routes that are less common elsewhere in the Alps.
