Wildkogel, Mountain summit in Kitzbühel Alps, Austria.
The Wildkogel is a 2,224-metre grass mountain in the Kitzbühel Alps of Oberpinzgau, Salzburg, rising north of the Salzach valley between Neukirchen and Bramberg. Its north flank drops into the Mühlbachtal, the east-northeast ridge runs to the Filzenhöhe (1,921 m), and the west ridge descends to the Dürnbachtal. Just south below the summit stands the Wildkogelhaus at 2,005 m, built in 1898.
The Wildkogelhaus below the summit was built in 1898 and has served as a mountain refuge since then, now accommodating up to 100 guests. The mountain's panoramic view, noted in 19th-century literature and taking in the Großvenediger, drew early visitors. In the 20th century the slopes were opened up with ski lifts and a network of hiking trails.
The Wildkogelhaus below the summit was built in 1898 and today holds up to 100 guests, with restaurants, a sauna and a disco. From here a 14-kilometre toboggan run descends towards Bramberg, one of the longest in the Alps. In summer the slopes host the Bike-Arena, and paraglider pilots use the summit as a starting point because the Pinzgau thermals are reliable.
The mountain is served by lift systems operating from two nearby villages, making the ascent straightforward and manageable for most visitors. Once at the top, you will find a refuge where you can rest and refuel before exploring further or heading back down.
