Rotgundspitze, Mountain summit in Allgäu Alps, Austria and Germany

Rotgundspitze is a 2,485 m (2,486 m Austrian survey) summit on the main ridge of the Allgäu Alps, on the border between Tyrol and Bavaria. It lies south-southeast of the Linkerskopf and, with the Hochgundspitze to its southwest, forms the Große Steinscharte. No marked trail leads to the top; it is reached tracklessly from the Wiesleskar over scree, requiring surefootedness and a head for heights.

The sources record no historical events, dates or human use for Rotgundspitze; it is documented only as a 2485 m (German survey) or 2486 m (Austrian survey) summit on the main ridge of the Allgäu Alps, on the border between Tyrol and Bavaria. Its height is given in both the German and Austrian survey systems, which is why the two figures differ by a metre.

The name Rotgundspitze pairs the old Alpine root "Gund" with "Rot" and "Spitze" (peak), a naming pattern shared with the neighbouring Hochgundspitze; together the two summits frame the Große Steinscharte. No marked path or cross leads to the top, so the summit stays a goal for experienced climbers rather than a stop on a maintained route.

The best time to visit is from July to September when trails are snow-free and accessible, with rest stops available at the Enzian Hut and Rappensee Hut. The ascent is steep and requires surefootedness, especially on rocky sections near the summit.

The summit itself offers stable rocks for good views, but the approaches from each side differ greatly in difficulty. The Austrian side is technically easier with grassy paths, while the German side requires steeper rock sections.
