Acherkogel, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria
Acherkogel is a mountain summit in the Stubaier Alps reaching 3007 meters, with steep rock walls on its northwest and southwest sides. The peak is composed of granitic gneiss and provides panoramic views across the surrounding Alpine terrain.
The mountain was first climbed in 1881 when Ludwig Purtscheller and Franz Schnaiter reached the summit and discovered a survey marker. This early ascent revealed that cartographers had already mapped this peak.
The mountain stands as a geographical marker for the residents of Oetz Valley, with its summit indicating the beginning of spring and autumn seasons.
Access is available via several routes, including the north face climbing path graded UIAA II, which departs from Bielefelder Hütte mountain hut. Climbers should be prepared for rock scrambling and high altitude conditions.
A small glacier formation sits on the eastern slope while a vertical drop of roughly 2200 meters reaches toward the valley below. These geological features create a distinctive visual landscape for mountaineers exploring the summit.
