- Description
-
Follow the signposts to "Ötztaler Fun Park" in Huben and walk past the water park. Here you take the cart trail up to Polltalalm and Breitlehnalm. A switch-backing route winds its way up to the forest on 13 kilometers. At about 2/3 of the hike the path forks-off and you leave the route to Polltalalm and Breitlehnalm, heading southwards across wonderful Alpine rose and heather meadows, blueberry and bilberry fields to lofty Hahlkogelhaus hut. A level path travels southwards to a wide open right-hand turn, merging into a steep green slope. You reach the peak after conquering a couple of rocky and fairly precipitous sections.

From the football field in Huben a forest road leads to Alpengasthof am Feuerstein. (Ascent can also be done via the legendary path) After some walking time, follow the steep mountain path with a ropeway up to the Hahlkogelhaus, which is no longer cultivated. From the hut, the trail continues on beautiful pastures until the junction "Hahlkogel - Wartkogelsee". From here, the climb takes place in steep serpentines and easy block climbing to the summit.
