Kögele

Description

A beautiful summit tour you are sure to rave about with truly stunning views.
Take the Peter-Anich gondolas first to Stiglreith at 1,363 metres above sea level and then up to Sulzstich at 1,560 metres above sea level. If the lifts are closed, you can hike up the forest road from the car park in Stiglreith (fees apply) at 1,383 metres above sea level to Sulzstich at 1,560 metres above sea level (walking time 40 minutes). The route passes a picturesque reservoir and continues until the last bend below the Rosskogelhütte mountain hut. From there you can see the Krimpenbachalm mountain hut (not open to the public) off in the distance, the mighty Rosskogel mountain and the Kögele to the left of it. Turn left and follow the yellow signs towards the Krimpenbachalm mountain hut, first along an idyllic trail past hay barns to the Krimpenbachsattel (1,899 m) and then south along a forest road to the Krimpenbachalm mountain hut (1,918 m). This hut is not open to the public. From there, the route continues south across beautiful alpine pastures dotted with mountain flowers, following the signs uphill to the summit cross on Kögele (2,195 m). Stunning views guaranteed.
The hike follows the same route back as far as the Krimpenbachalm mountain hut and then continues along a forest road to the rustic Rosskogelhütte mountain hut. From there, you can hike back down to Stiglreith along the forest road or alternatively follow the ski slope, past the reservoir lake and down the Ghost Trail to Stiglreith.
