Description

To the left of the top station of the Glacier Express [Gletscherexpress] trail over gravelly and rocky terrain leads you to the Mittagskogel peak (3,159 m). Please note that the trail is very steep so should not be attempted unless hikers are sure-footed. You will be rewarded with impressive vistas of the valley and surrounding glacier and Alps. Descend by the outward route and return to the top station of the Glacier Express.
