Roggelskopf is the dominant peak above the upper Klostertal valley, a true local landmark for the villages of Dalaas and Braz. Its steep, rocky south face rises dramatically above the valley, making it one of the most striking summits in the Lechquellengebirge range.

The mountain sits just south of the main ridge of the range, near the Rote Wand, which is why its southern flank drops in steep rock walls toward Klostertal, while a distinct ridge runs north over the Gwurfjoch toward the main crest. On the western ridge stands the Bocksberg, a subsidiary summit famous for its rock window, the Hohler Stein. In summer, alpine pastures like Masonalpe, Heubergalpe and Mustrinalpe frame the approach, while in winter the whole area turns into a quiet, rugged high-alpine landscape.

• Freiburger Hütte (about 3 km northeast) — marked trail to the north ridge, then a secured path (UIAA I-II) to the summit, difficulty: demanding
• Masonalpe — marked trail leading to the north ridge and the same secured summit route

• The final stretch to the summit follows a secured (via ferrata-style) path rated UIAA I-II
• Harder alternative routes exist via the southeast ridge (II-III), the east face (III-V) and the southwest face (II), suited for experienced climbers
• The nearest mountain hut and starting base is the Freiburger Hütte

The name Roggelskopf comes from the Rhaeto-Romanic word rocca, meaning rock; the peak was first mentioned in writing in 1783, and its first documented ascent took place in 1875.
