Tegelberg, Mountain peak in Schwangau, Germany

Tegelberg is a mountain massif in the Ammergau Alps near Schwangau, whose highest point, the Branderschrofen, reaches 1,881 m. Its steep ridge rises from the Pöllat valley past the Tegelbergkopf (1,587 m) to the Tegelberghaus and the cable-car station. Snow covers the upper slopes and grey rock breaks through along the crest, while dense forest covers the lower flanks above a flat valley floor with a line of low buildings.

Archaeological excavations in the 1930s uncovered remains of a Roman estate from the 2nd century near the mountain's base. This reveals that the region was inhabited and used during ancient times.

The Tegelberghaus near the top station was once the royal Bavarian hunting lodge of King Maximilian II. Below the mountain, the excavated foundations of a Roman bath building, found beside the valley station in 1967/68, are open to the public as the Römervilla. The Tegelberglauf has been run by TSV Schwangau on the first Sunday of August since 2002.

The Tegelbergbahn runs from a base station at 802 m to a top station at 1,720 m, where a panorama restaurant and the Tegelberghaus stand. From there, the marked path to the Branderschrofen summit (1,881 m) takes about half an hour; beyond the "Nur für Geübte" sign, wire ropes secure exposed sections. A 760 m summer toboggan run and a Roman villa are next to the valley station.

The FAI Hang Gliding World Championship was held at Tegelberg in 1983, a decade after the slope was first used for hang gliding in the 1970s. The take-off site lies at 1,730 m beside the cable-car station and has two launch directions, northwest and northeast. The Ostallgäuer Gleitschirmflieger e. V. is the largest local paragliding club.
