Mountain hikes Rotenkogel

Matrei in Osttirol / Granatspitze Group
Difficulty ratings: difficult
Route length: 3.9 km
Duration: 3:00 h

An artistic hymn of praise made of metal: the summit cross on the Rotenkogel panoramic mountain is reminiscent of a tuning fork. This is obvious, as it was erected by the East Tyrolean Men's Choral Society.

Tour character

Due to its central location, the Rotenkogel is one of the most beautiful panoramic mountains in East Tyrol. At the summit at 2,762 meters, the border between the national park communities of Kals am Großglockner and Matrei in East Tyrol runs high above the Goldried recreation area and the Großglockner Resort Kals-Matrei. The gondola lift from Kals takes you up to the Adlerlounge, where the marked trail begins. Difficult paths, which climb 383 meters in altitude, lead to the summit cross, which is well worth seeing.
