    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.

     

    Author’s recommendation

    The ascent to the summit can be shortened by using the hut taxi, which in summer goes up to the Polltalalm. Reservation required at Ötztal Tourismus.

    Turn-by-turn directions

    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.
