Roßkopf (Kitzbühel Alps)

The Roßkopf is a mountain in the Austrian state of Tyrol in the Kitzbühel Alps. It is 1731 m high and lies about 7 kilometres due south of Wörgl. To the northeast an arête descends to the Marchbachjoch or Markbachjoch (1,496 m); another ridge runs northeast to the Kirchköpfl (1,487 m) and a third to the Turmkogel (1,648 m) to the south. The summit of the Roßkopf is the highest in the local area. It is marked by a large summit cross.

The summit may be climbed on a number of routes, most of which are designated as "easy", and is also a destination for snowshoe tours.
