Rastkogel, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria.

The Rastkogel is a pyramidal peak, 2,762 metres high, on the main crest of the Tux Alps in Tyrol. It rises five kilometres north-northeast of Vorderlanersbach in the Tuxertal, the westernmost side valley of the Zillertal. At the summit the crest divides crosswise into three directions, and the massif drops steeply south into the Tuxertal.

The Rastkogel lies on the main crest of the Tux Alps, five kilometres north-northeast of Vorderlanersbach in the Tuxertal, the westernmost side valley of the Zillertal. The crest divides at the summit into three directions, with the Nurpensjoch (2,525 m) to the west and the Hoarbergjoch (2,590 m) to the east. Its steep southern flank drops into the Tuxertal, and a ski area on the southwest side is reached by the Rastkogelbahn cable car from Vorderlanersbach.

The summit draws local hikers throughout summer months, serving as a meeting point for people from the surrounding valleys. Its accessibility makes it a natural gathering place within the broader Alpine tradition.

Visitors follow a marked trail from Rastkogel Hut at 2,117 meters (6,946 feet) to reach the summit, with the ascent taking about three hours. The well-marked path is straightforward and requires only basic hiking experience.

The summit is a classic ski touring peak, climbable on skis from three sides: through the Sidantal from Schwendberg via the Rastkogel Hut and Sidanseen, from Innerst over the Nurpenstal, or from Vorderlanersbach over the Lämmerbichlalm. Using the Horbergjoch chairlift, skiers reach the top in about 1.5 hours.
