Große Windegg 2650 m


   




If you use the Acherkogelbahn from Ötz to Hochötz there are good opportunities
to simple (but also demanding) hiking.
Just close by rises the Acherkogel , the most northern 3000-meter peak in Austria.






The path up to Roßköpfe is very easy. But Robert and me finds another way.
It is a little steeper, but a lot more fun.





The summit of Roßköpfe is beautiful, but we are aiming higher and don't stay
long.
Our path continues towards Wetterkreuzkogel, just some additional 200 altitude meters.





Even here the path is quite simple, therefore attracting a lot of tourists. The welcoming comittee on Wetterkreuzskogel. This guy was very curious on what I had in my backpack. Eventually he got a bisquit.






The summit of Wetterkreuzkogel, 2591m. Plenty of tourists, as I mentioned earlier. But we are continuing in the direction of Acherkogel, over Große Windegg and Mittertaler Scharte. This path is black = almost no tourists.








A bit to the right of the middle is Sulzkogel, 3016m, which I climbed two years ago.
A view down into The Ötztal.








The passage of Große Windegg is made easier by metal chains, making it quite smooth.
Continuing to Mittertaler Scharte. After that there is a relatively steep path down, but without wires.








Back into the green on lower altitude, on the way back to the lift station. In the valley you can see Ötz.
