Bleikogel, Alpine summit in Tennengebirge range, Salzburg, Austria.
Bleikogel is an alpine summit in the Tennengebirge range at approximately 2,400 meters, marked by steep slopes along its eastern ridge. Small rock walls interrupt the terrain and offer expansive views across the surrounding peaks.
The mountain formed through geological processes in the Northern Limestone Alps millions of years ago. The rock layers consist of dolomite and limestone, reflecting the long-term development of this alpine region.
The summit serves as a key landmark for mountaineers in the region and draws regular visitors throughout the year. Local climbers have maintained knowledge of the routes across generations.
The main route from Abtenau takes about 7 hours and covers roughly 1,700 meters of elevation gain. Hikers should prepare for changing vegetation zones and typical alpine conditions along the way.
The northern face offers an extended ski descent for experienced skiers running from the summit down toward Unterberg near Abtenau. This technically demanding route is less known than standard hiking paths and appeals to specialized winter mountaineers.
