From the Bertahütte to Mittagskogel (2,143 m)
Selected alternatives for you
Scenically very beautiful route to a dominant lookout mountain. The path partly leads over loose gravel and scree and therefore requires surefootedness and a head for heights.

From the Bertahütte, head south on the marked hiking trail first over a wide saddle, later partly rougher terrain to the notch and finally to the summit of Mittagskogel.
Author’s recommendation
For experienced mountaineers, the path over the partly exposed northeast ridge is an option (unsecured climbing spots). More information can be found here and from the hut staff.
