Ralfkopf, Alpine summit in Lienz District, Austria
Ralfkopf is a mountain summit in the Schobergruppe range, rising to 3106 meters above sea level. Its eastern and northern sides drop steeply, creating a distinct profile in this alpine terrain.
Ludwig Purtscheller completed the first documented ascent of this peak on July 24, 1890. This achievement opened the mountain to recreational climbing and exploration.
The mountain serves as a natural boundary between the municipalities of Nußdorf-Debant and Kals am Großglockner, reflecting local administrative divisions.
The main climbing route starts at Lesachalmhütte and passes through Ralftal before reaching Schobertörl and the southwest ridge. Climbers should expect rocky sections and steep terrain that demand solid mountaineering skills.
The southeast face contains two solid climbing routes graded between III and IV, offering sport climbers an alternative to the standard hiking approach. These technical pitches attract experienced climbers seeking more varied terrain.
