Mittagskogel - Touring Ski

Difficult and alpine ski tour to the Mittagskogel.

Also try out the skitour to the Ferlacher Spitze - especially, if the weather is not absolutely perfect.

Skitour equipment (avalanche probe and shovel etc.), ski crampons, changing clothes, hot drinks, firs aid kit and smartphone.

Sometimes, depending on the snow situation, the forest road to the Bertahütte is accessible in also in winter months. Therefore, the described tour starts a little below the parking area on that road. Follow the forest road until you reach the barrier. From there you can either take the forest road or the steeper forest path (path no. 680) to get up to the Bertahütte. From here, follow the signposted ascent (path no. 680). At the beginning you have to cross some smaller gorges until you get to the east flank of the "Hühnekogel". From there follow numerous serpentines upwards to the 2,070 m high saddle. To the north-west, you can reach the Mittagskogel. For the descent take the same way back.

Unteraichwald can be reached at regular intervals by public transport.

We recommend to do this tour in spring and it requires alpine experience, very good physical condition and ski technique, safe snow conditions and your assessment of the avalanche situation. A very early start is also recommended.
