Kesselspitz is a 2,284 m secondary summit of the Fuchskarspitze in the Allgäu Alps, and the state border between Germany and Austria runs over it. North of the peak the Rauhhorn ridge ends at the Glasfelderkopf (2,270 m), separated from it by the Bockkarscharte (2,162 m). A crest runs south from the Kesselspitz toward the Hochvogel.

The Kesselspitz lies on the state border, with the Bärgündeletal valley below its eastern side; the ridge continues south toward the Hochvogel. The name Kessel, German for cauldron or basin, refers to the hollow below the summit. The peak is also called Kesselspitze.

Multiple marked trails approach the summit from both the Austrian and German sides, with the choice of route depending on where you start. Winter conditions from December through March require additional equipment and mountaineering experience.
