The Roggspitze (also known as Rockspitze in the old literature) is a 2747 meter high mountain in the Valluga group in the western part of the Lechtaler Alps, on the border between the Austrian states of Tyrol and Vorarlberg. The name derives from the Romansh Rocca, English rock. The mountain has, especially from the west, a strikingly triangular shape with very steep walls facing south and east. As a result, the Roggspitze has a strong geographic dominance towards the north. The mountain is popular with climbers who find routes up to the UIAA grade VI because of its easy accessibility and its firm Aptychen limestone.
