Fluchtkogel, Mountain peak in Ötztal Alps, Austria
The Fluchtkogel summit rises to 3,500 meters within the Weisskamm group, featuring steep ice faces on its northwestern side and a broad, flat summit.
The first mountaineers reached Fluchtkogel's peak on July 19, 1869, when Valentin Kaltdorff, Franz Senn, and J. Scholz completed their ascent with guides.
The mountain represents an integral part of Tyrol's mountaineering heritage, attracting climbers who seek to explore the peaks of the Ötztal Alps.
Climbers typically begin their journey at Vent's trailhead at 1900 meters, with access routes available from Hochjochhospitz, Brandenburger Haus, and Vernagt Hütte.
The Guslarferner glacier path leading to Fluchtkogel contains numerous crevasses, requiring careful navigation and proper mountaineering equipment for safe passage.
