Ameringkogel, Mountain summit in Styria, Austria.

Ameringkogel is the highest summit of the Packalpe, the highest range of the Lavanttal Alps east of the Lavant, reaching 2,187 m. Its massif rises over 1,500 m above the Aichfeld and carries a broad, moderately sloping grass ridge running north to south. The summit ridge forms the boundary between the Styrian municipalities of Obdach and Weißkirchen, with the Größenberg (2,152 m) to the northwest and the Hofalmkogel (2,040 m) and Speikkogel (1,993 m) continuing the chain to the southeast. The mountain is built mainly of orthogneiss.

Ameringkogel lies on the border between the Styrian municipalities of Obdach and Weißkirchen in Styria. The Amering massif rises over 1,500 metres above the Aichfeld basin, and its ridge continues northwest to the Größenberg (2,152 m) and southeast to the Hofalmkogel (2,040 m) and Speikkogel (1,993 m). The mountain is built mainly of orthogneiss and is linked to the higher Seetal Alps only through the Obdacher Sattel (955 m) to the west.

The Ameringkogel lies on the border between the municipalities of Obdach and Weißkirchen in Styria, and the alpine meadows of the Amering massif are still grazed in summer. The name Amering refers to this high pastureland, which local farming families have used for centuries.

The shortest route starts at the Hirschegger Sattel (1,543 m) and reaches the summit in 2½ to 3 hours via the Speikkogel and Hofalmkogel. Under good conditions the walk over open alpine pasture presents no difficulties. Sturdy footwear is still needed for the long ridge approach.
