The path to Narrenkogel begins in the village Niederthai on about 1500m altitude. Niederthai is in a sidevalley of Ötztal, above Umhausen. A simple tour that's suitable for us as the weather only permits a hike in the afternoon. | The path up through the forest is fairly steep, and there is no great views until we reach 2000m. Here you can see Ötztal. | Stratus clouds forming both below and above us provides an additional effect to the scenery. |

A happy Peter at the top of Narrenkogel. | There are two crosses at the Narrenkogel. One smaller at the highest peak, and one larger at the best viewpoint. | Our path continues along the ridge Am Joch, on the way to Poschachkogel. Here's a look to the north, towards Inntal. |

To the south from Am Joch you can see Ötztal winding away towards the high passes leading to Italy. | Am Joch with Narrenkogel furthest down, seen from the slope towards Poschachkogel. | The summit cross at Poschachkogel, 2574m.
