    This demanding tour can start either with the easy 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

    In poor conditions, the Ferlacher Spitz is also a possible alternative.

    Safety information

    This route is best done in spring as a firn tour and requires alpine experience, very good fitness and ski technique, secure snow conditions, and the assessment of avalanche danger. For an enjoyable descent on firn, an early start is recommended.

    Here is the avalanche warning service.

    Roadbook

    In rare cases and depending on snow conditions and the month, it is possible to drive up to the parking lot on the forest road to the Bertahütte. Therefore, the described route starts just below the 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 marked normal ascent (trail no. 680) and at the beginning cross several 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 northwestern direction, you reach the Mittagskogel below the ridge. The descent follows the ascent route and from the Bertahütte is best done via the forest road.
