Spiegelkogel, Mountain summit in the Ötztal Alps, Tyrol, Austria

The Spiegelkogel is a name shared by three summits on the Ramolkamm ridge of the Ötztal Alps in Tyrol: the Hinterer Spiegelkogel at 3,424 m, the Mittlerer at 3,311 m and the Vorderer at 3,087 m. The Hinterer Spiegelkogel, the highest, rises about 7 km southwest of Obergurgl; its north flank is covered by the Spiegelferner glacier down to just below the summit, while the shrinking Firmisanferner reaches about 3,200 m on the south side.

The Hinterer Spiegelkogel was first climbed in the week of 25 July to 2 August 1870 by Franz Senn, a priest from Vent and co-founder of the German and Austrian Alpine Club, with the Bozen merchant Victor von Mayrl and guides Ignaz Schöpf and Josef Gstrein. Their route from Vent is not recorded. The three Spiegelkogel summits, at 3424, 3311 and 3087 m, lie in the Ramolkamm ridge of the Ötztal Alps in Tyrol.

The name Spiegelkogel comes from the Spiegelbach, the high valley stream that runs northwest from the summit down to Vent. The Ramolhaus at 3,006 m serves as the base for the normal route, which the Alpine Club literature rates at UIAA grade I. The first ascent in 1870 was made by Pastor Franz Senn of Vent, co-founder of the Alpine Club, with merchant Victor von Mayrl and guides Ignaz Schöpf and Josef Gstrein.

The route starts from Ramolhaus mountain hostel and takes about three hours, requiring no specialized climbing gear. Good foot security and mountain fitness are needed due to the exposed ridge sections.

The mountain maintains a prominence of 181 meters above surrounding peaks, offering views of neighboring giants Firmisanschneide and Schalfkogel in the Ötztal range.
