Oberstkogel Summit Cross (2,728 m)

Highlight • Summit

The summit cross of the neighboring and slightly higher Oberstkogel is located here. Up to here the path is not very demanding, and there are a few easy climbs as you continue to cross the ridge. The view of Sellrain and towards Zischgeles etc is very beautiful.

Zischgeles Ridge Traverse

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Very exciting ridge crossing/climbing.
Unmarked, partly with climbing marks, not easy to find.
Exposed and at risk of falling. (Some people turned around!)
After the Steinmann, don't climb steeply up the ridge but down the gully and extremely unpleasantly extremely steeply over slabs, earth, gravel up to the ridge. On the SW side (left) it is much easier.

Zischgeles Summit

Highlight • Summit

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.
