Rostizkogel

Rostizkogel from east

The Rostizkogel is a 3,394 m high mountain in the Kaunergrat, a mountain range of the Ötztal Alps. He is the highest elevation along the Riffltales and is to the north only topped by the Watzespitze. Directly east of it is the Seekogel, the most technically demanding and rugged mountains of the ridge, which covers him for observers from the Rifflsee ago. The Rostizkogel is a great vantage point from its summit you can see great views of the rear and front Kaunergrat alike. He offers the viewer from the east to the sight of a steep Firnrampe with steep rock crashes south dar. Just south under its steep southern flank lies under the ski mountaineers and climbers very popular K2.
