This difficult route starts optionally with a leisurely forest road or the steeper forest ascent to the Bertahütte and then continues via the normal ascent to the summit of the Mittagskogel.
Author’s recommendation
Alternatively, the Ferlacher Spitz is also a possible and easier alternative to the Mittagskogel.

Roadbook
With sufficient ground clearance, you can drive with a car up to the parking lot on the forest road to the Bertahütte. Therefore, the described route starts at this parking lot. You follow the forest road to the barrier and then choose either the forest road or the steeper forest path (trail no. 680) to reach the saddle at the height of the Bertahütte. From here, follow the signposted normal ascent (trail no. 680) and immediately cross some gullies on the east flank up to the walls of the Hühnerkogel. From here, numerous switchbacks lead to the 2,070 m high saddle. In a northwesterly direction, you reach the Mittagskogel below the ridge. The descent is made via the described ascent and from the Bertahütte optionally again via the forest road or the forest trail.
