Tschaggunser Mittagspitze, Mountain summit in Tschagguns, Austria.
The Tschaggunser Mittagspitze is a 2,168 m high mountain in the Rätikon, in the Sulzfluh group above Tschagguns in the Montafon valley, Vorarlberg. The ascent runs from Latschau or Grabs past the Alpilaalpe (1,686 m) and the Tobelsee to the Walser Alpjoch, then north over an easy ridge to the rocky summit.
The name comes from its geographic position relative to Tschagguns village, referring to the midday sun reaching its highest point over the peak. The mountain has been explored and used by local climbers over many decades.
The summit sits along traditional walking routes that link surrounding valleys and have drawn generations of hikers. Local people use this path seasonally and share knowledge about the best times to make the ascent.
Access to the peak starts from the Latschau parking area, and the route requires good mountain experience and proper gear. The place is best visited during weather with good visibility to safely navigate the path and enjoy the views.
The route passes the Alpilaalpe at 1,686 m and the Tobelsee before reaching the Walser Alpjoch; from there the summit is gained northwards over an easy ridge. The final stretch onto the rocky top involves easy climbing, so sure-footedness and a head for heights are needed.
