The best place to start this route is from the Ravensburger Hut, which is located above Lake Spullersee. The northern edge of the Roggalspitze is known as one of the most beautiful climbing routes in Vorarlberg. However, at 300 meters in altitude, this climbing route is quite a demanding tour that can challenge even experienced climbers. The route runs on stable rock, partly along and partly directly on the ridge, which leads to the summit at 2,673 m. Once at the top, you can expect a brilliant view of the rocky mountain peaks of the Rätikon, the Alpstein and the Arlberg.

To the west of Spullersee lies the Plattnitzer Jochspitze, which is a popular destination for hikers and alpine climbers. It’s best to start at the Ravensburger Hut and hike to Spullersee up to the northern dam. At the junction to the Freiburger Hütte you have to follow the signposts and then hike uphill in a westerly direction towards the Grüner Bühel. After a short section of flat terrain that offers an impressive view of the Pfaffeneck, the path climbs significantly again. At the next signpost “Dalaaser Schütz” you should not follow the path to the Freiburger Hütte, but rather the narrow path that runs flat across the open meadow to the south. Follow the path further west along the steep grassy slope of the Plattnitzer Jochspitze until the avalanche barriers become visible. The path then takes you past the avalanche barriers for the last few meters along the ridge to the summit cross.

The Rote Wand in Vorarlberg is the second highest peak in the Lechquelle Mountains and is known for its special appearance, which is caused by the red limestone. Climbing the mountain is only recommended for experienced mountaineers with advanced skills, as the climb is quite demanding. The last section in particular requires sure-footedness and a head for heights. Most people start their route directly at Lake Formarin, which leads over the upper Laguzalpe. From there we continue, with the hidden glacier in view, along the ridge up to the impressive summit at 2,704 meters. The way back follows the same path as the ascent.
