    The Ankogel, first climbed in 1762, is considered the earliest glacier summit climbed in the Eastern Alps - it is thus the "cradle of alpinism"!

    Author’s recommendation

    Overnight stay at the new Hannoverhaus of the DAV (a few minutes' walk below the mountain station of the Ankogel cable car) - experience unique sunrises and sunsets.

    Roadbook

    From the mountain station Hochgebirgsbahnen Ankogel, a short descent along the ski slope in a north-eastern direction to the Tauern high route no. 502. We follow this to the Ankogel junction. Here we leave the high route and follow the left path no. 520.
    Further northeast to the Lassacher Kees. We cross this crevasse-free (occasionally iced) glacier moderately uphill towards the ridge. Over scree we reach the "Little Ankogel." From the level snowfield at the "Little Ankogel," continue over the relatively steep climb to the Ankogel.

    Descent as ascent.
