Regalmspitze, Mountain summit in Kitzbühel District, Austria
Regalmspitze is a mountain peak in the Kaisergebirge range, rising to 2253 meters above sea level. The summit sits in the eastern section of this mountain massif and overlooks the surrounding alpine terrain.
The peak was developed in the early 1900s when marked trails were created and the Fritz Pflaum hut was built. This infrastructure helped establish the mountain as a climbing destination.
The Regalmwand subpeak has no summit cross but holds a summit book, while the main Regalmspitze carries a cross. The name Regalmwand denotes the 2,227 m western subpeak, distinct from the 2,253 m main summit. The Regalmturm, a 2,226 m rock tower rising about 80 m from the ridge, is rarely climbed.
Two main routes lead to the summit: one from Gaudeamus Hut via the Gildensteig path and another from Griesner Alm through Kaiserbach valley. Your choice of route depends on your fitness level and current mountain conditions.
The Wandl is not on the summit but in the wind gap between the Regalmwand and the Regalmspitze: a 5-metre vertical step of UIAA grade II that must be climbed before the easy rock leads on to the summit cross. The lower Regalmwand, 2,227 m, has no summit cross but a summit book.
