The effort is worth it

Great view over the Ötztal valley

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.

One of the quicker to reach 3000m peaks in Sellrain with a beautiful view of the Zugspitze, Karwendel and some of the Stubai and Zillertal peaks. Great tour, especially with the short ridge hike over the Oberstkogel. Not particularly technically demanding, especially if you avoid the aforementioned tightrope walk. In winter the Zischgeles is popular as a ski tour.

We chose the Dortmunder Hütte because there are rooms with a shower and toilet. We booked half board. However, we were happy that we had enough energy-rich food with us. The dinner and breakfast were horrible. The price-performance ratio was underground. There are plenty of better alternatives in the area. For the price (€360) for two people and two days, we could have booked a great hotel. The service was subpar, the dishes were dirty. The beer was far too expensive for the road connection (€5.50). Parking spaces are directly in front of the hut. Guests often come without reservations. Overall, the hut is not recommended.

Can't follow the recommendations. Stayed here overnight to get an early start in the morning. There was no peace at night and you could hear the neighbors from the double rooms. The only positive thing was the showers in the double rooms. But due to the lack of curtains in the bathroom, the hotel opposite has a great view. The overnight prices and costs for half board (45 euros) were totally exorbitant. We left the food there. For us the meals tasted like ready meals. The vegetables were totally watery. The breakfast was also of poor quality. Refills were made from supermarket bags. Glasses and cups were dirty. Luckily we had brought enough cereals and energy supplies with us. Charging €5.50 for a wheat beer is totally excessive. Of course we are at an altitude of 1900 meters, but the surrounding accommodations do a better job. Especially since everything is connected to a main road. The Dortmunder Hütte was perfect as a starting point for hikes. The view of the mountains is more beautiful than here. There is a lot of construction going on. The power plant below the reservoirs is still under construction.

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.

Relatively easy climb to the Finstertal reservoir, then further to the south bank it gets a little more strenuous. The ascent from Kühtai is also possible for sporty people in 2 hours.
