Regitzer Spitz

Regitzer Spitz is the highest point of the Fläscherberg ridge, rising above the wine village of Fläsch in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. At 1,135 m it marks the far western tip of the Rätikon range, directly above the Rhine valley. The hike starts in the village itself and ends on a summit with wide views across the valley.

Where is Regitzer Spitz?

The mountain overlooks the Rhine in the Bündner Herrschaft region. Fläsch lies on its southern side, and Liechtenstein borders the northern flank. Vineyards surround the village, so the first stretch of the walk passes through them.

How do you reach the summit?

The standard route is a loop from the upper part of Fläsch (Oberdorf). According to Graubünden Tourismus it covers about 8 km in roughly 3 hours 25 minutes, with 674 m of ascent, and counts as a moderate hike. The path climbs steeply through forest in many switchbacks to the Fläscher Alp pasture, then continues to the top. The descent runs through the Persaxplatten forest reserve and back to the village.

Other guides list 9 to 10 km and around 4 hours including breaks, depending on the variant. Wandersite.ch describes a longer version with a short detour to the summit.

Experienced hikers can also arrive along the ridge from the Leiterliweg via ferrata, passing Lida and Guschaspitz.

What can you see from the top?

The panorama opens over the Rhine valley. Across the river lie Bad Ragaz, the Tamina valley and the Pizol area. Views also stretch towards Sargans and over the Bündner Herrschaft vineyards as far as Landquart. The summit has benches and a fire pit.

When should you go, and what should you know?

The route is feasible almost all year, and the area is often clear of fog, especially during foehn conditions. Paths can be rocky and rooty, so sturdy shoes and sure footing are needed. Mountain bikers also use the trail, which calls for attention on the way down.

One note on figures: most sources give 1,135 m, while a few route listings say 1,180 m. The 1,135 m value is the better documented one.
