Ameringkogel

Ameringkogel is a mountain summit in Styria, Austria, belonging to the Packalpe range and reaching 2,187 meters in elevation. Several marked hiking trails lead to the peak from various starting locations, with the main route departing from Sankt Georgen village.

Humans have inhabited and used this mountain region for centuries, primarily for livestock farming and agriculture across the surrounding alpine meadows. This traditional land use has shaped the landscape and vegetation patterns that remain visible today.

Alpine huts in the area serve traditional Styrian food and drinks to visitors passing through. Local communities use these spaces to maintain their mountain farming heritage and way of life.

The village of Sankt Georgen serves as the main entry point, with clearly marked trails departing from there. Visitors should bring weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear since conditions change quickly at higher elevations.

From the summit, hikers can observe both northern Styrian valleys and southern mountain ridges at the same time due to its central position in the range. This vantage point reveals how the peak connects different parts of the surrounding landscape.
