Hoher Mitterkogel (1,226 m) via Saiherbachalm
-

Author’s recommendation
As a somewhat shorter goal, instead of Hoher Mitterkogel, the Schneeröselkogel (1,026 m) can also be climbed.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
Track types
Show elevation profileSafety information
The cozy character of the route should not obscure the fact that the crossing after the barrier and the Saiherbach Valley can be avalanche-prone due to the steepness of the side slopes.Tips and suggestions
Roadbook
From the small parking lot at the road junction, we first walk up the increasingly steep road to the highest located houses of the village Jainzen (mostly still without snowshoes).
The asphalt road becomes a gravel road and after a loop you reach a junction. Now turn left to a barrier and follow this forest road around a ridge into the Saiherbach Valley. Now always along the Saiherbach to the Saiherbachalm (1,030 m, managed in summer). Up to here you constantly follow the well-visible summer markings to the Gspranggupf.
At the upper of the two huts, another forest road branches off to the right. We only follow this briefly and climb over sparsely wooded slopes to the broad saddle west of the Hoher Mitterkogel. Now briefly quite steep, then flatter eastwards to the highest point.
Descent as ascent.
Public transport
Bad Ischl is very well accessible by public transport (bus, train). For the starting point in Jainzen, however, a car or at least a bicycle is required.Directions
Coming from Salzburg, turn off to the village of Jainzen immediately before the "Kaiserparktunnel" and follow the very narrow road or the signs about 2.5 km to the starting point.Parking
Small parking lot at an intersection, but also individual parking options further up.Coordinates
