Mountain hikes Achenkirch - Köglalm - Kotalm Mitterleger - Kotalm Niederleger – Achenkirch

Achenkirch am Achensee / Brandenberger Alpen (Rofan)
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 9.6 km
Duration: 5:00 h

The tranquil alpine pasture area high above Lake Achensee is a paradise for families who love hiking. Can you spot the marmot and the jumping chamois? Or arnica and gentian along the way?

Tour character

Located on the east side of Lake Achensee, the Köglalm is popular with leisure hikers and families due to its good paths and scenic beauty. It can be reached from Achenkirch in approx. 1 ½ hours. Refreshments are available at the snack station before continuing on to the Kotalm-Mitterleger. Here you can grab some food in your rucksack, as the hut is not staffed. The almost 10-kilometre circular hike can also be hiked in the opposite direction.
