Climbing
First ascent	by locals

The Alpgundkopf is a mountain, 2,177 m high, in the Allgäu Alps. It lies in the Schafalpenköpfe group, northeast of the Roßgundkopf, from which it is separated by the Alpgundscharte col. To the southeast, 383 metres away, lies the lower Alpkopf and, 1,035 metres away, the small lake of Guggersee.

Ascent

There are no waymarked paths up the Alpgundkopf. The normal approach is a trackless route from the notch of Alpgundscharte that requires sure-footedness and mountain experience. All other ascents are not recommended due to the brittle nature of the rock.
