Regitzer Spitz, Mountain summit and scenic viewpoint in Graubünden, Switzerland.
Regitzer Spitz is a 1135 meter (3724 foot) mountain summit and the westernmost extension of the Rätikon range in Graubünden. The peak displays prominent limestone formations and drops steeply on its eastern faces.
The mountain served as a military stronghold for the Swiss Army with fortifications positioned along its slopes to defend the strategic Rhine Valley passage. These defensive structures marked an important phase in the area's past.
The trails from Fläsch village pass through local vineyards, representing the region's wine production heritage that received recognition from naturalist Johann Jakob Scheuchzer in 1792.
The summit is accessible via marked trails between April and October, with parking available near Fläsch village close to the Bad Ragaz motorway exit. The routes are clearly marked and suitable for hikers of different abilities.
Two major rockfalls occurred between 2012 and 2013, resulting in modifications to the hiking trails in the area. The aftermath of these events became part of the mountain's recent story and ongoing landscape changes.
