The Saukarkopf, at 2,048 meters, is Grossarl’s local mountain and offers an impressive panoramic view of the surrounding peaks.

The Saukarkopf is considered Grossarl’s local mountain and is a popular destination for hikers. The hike usually passes by the Saukaralm, which lies at 1,820 m at the foot of the Saukarkopf and is considered the highest alpine pasture in Grossarltal. From there, the trail continues up to the summit at 2,048 m. At the top, a sweeping view of the surrounding mountains opens up, including views toward the Hochkönig, Dachstein, and Ankogel Group.

The Saukarkopf can be easily combined with a stop at the Saukaralm or Gerstreitalm. For athletic guests, the short, challenging “Bella Cascinaia” via ferrata also leads to the summit.
