ACHERKOGELBAHN BERGSTATION -> Bielefelder Hütte -> Roßköpfe -> Wetterkreuz -> Windegg -> Mittertaler Scharte -> Mittergrathütte-> BUSHALTESTELLE MITTERGRATHÜTTE
The Acherkogel cable car provides easy access to the starting point in Hochoetz. At first, a gently ascending wide gravel path leads to the Bielefelder Hütte. Soon after, the wide trail is left behind as the route enters an idyllic stone pine forest. A pleasant, flat path continues to a short but demanding ascent that leads directly to the Roßköpfe.
Without any significant loss in elevation, a narrow trail then continues toward the Wetterkreuzkogel. From the summit, hikers are rewarded with an impressive panorama of the Stubai Alps and the Mieming Range – a perfect spot for a short break with a view. The route then leads across the broad Windegg to the flank of the Wörgegratspitze, which is crossed without difficulty, before a steep climb takes you up to the Mittertaler Scharte.
A varied descent follows, leading over secured rock passages and loose scree. After this section, the trail becomes gentler again and leads across the expansive Roßboden. With magnificent views, the path winds leisurely through the picturesque Mittertal – a true highlight of the tour.
At the end of the valley, the trail descends gradually. Just before the dam wall, the descent continues to the Mittergrathütte and then further on to the bus stop.
