The Ringelspitz is the culminating point of a range, about long, running from west to east and diverging from the main chain of the Glarus Alps between Piz Sardona and Piz Segnas. The massif separates the Calfeisen valley in the canton of St. Gallen from the Alpine Rhine Valley near Flims, the Grisons. The north side of the mountain consists of nearly high precipitous cliffs overlooking the Gigerwaldsee (). It is separated from the Calanda, located east of Ringelspitz, by the Kunkels Pass.
