From the mountain station (1950 m) on the marked hiking trail 525 to the first summit, the Hüttenkogel (2231 m). Super vantage point to the Reedsee and the Tischlerspitzen.

Graukogel Summit (2,492 m)

Highlight • Summit

The Graukogel is probably the most impressive panoramic, hiking and climbing mountain near Bad Gastein.
The views range from the Tischlerkar, over the Hochkönig to the Dachstein, to name just a few well-known mountain peaks.

The SE ridge is never, ever T6 (or T5). Generally walking terrain on a wide rocky ridge

A good hiking trail up to the Palfnerscharte. The ascent over the ridge involves some scrambling. Surefootedness and a head for heights are required. Walking time from the top station is 3 hours.
The descent to the top station takes 90 minutes along the normal route. Stop at the Graukogelalm.
