    Tips

    The ascent from Praxmar via Köllenzeiger/Oberstkogel is mainly along narrow but easily accessible mountain paths. Only a few places are narrower on more exposed steep slopes, but it can happen that landslides, earthy/gravelly areas have to be overcome. The ridge path is very wide at the beginning and only becomes more demanding in the last 150m below the summit. This is where the scrambling/easy climbing to the summit begins. The key point is a sloping slab directly on the ridge, which has to be climbed over for 4-5m. Directly below the summit is another slab, but this is secured with a chain and pins. Great panoramic view from the summit and a fairly large summit plateau for a relaxing break. The descent via the Satteljoch/Marlerbachtal begins steeply on gravel before you reach the ridge, which has little difference in altitude. On the ridge you have to climb around/over a few places before you go down over the scree field into the valley. From here on, the terrain is mostly easy. The path often runs along the stream and invites you to stop for a refreshment. The ascent from Praxmar is signposted as 4 hours on both options, but can certainly be done more quickly for experienced hikers. The paths are mostly well marked. Suitable as a first 3000m peak if surefootedness and easy climbing are not a problem.

        Greatly marked, a bit steeper at the end (easily doable) as a perfect round from Praxmar.
        A real 3000 with great all-round visibility.
        Nice, small lake that is easily accessible from the normal route (pathless) and invites you to swim.
