Stanskogel, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria.

Stanskogel is a 2,757 m summit in the Lechtaler Alps of Tyrol, built of Cretaceous slate and Aptychenkalk. Its southwest ridge carries the Hirschpleißkopf (2,549 m) above the Almajurjoch, where the Leutkircher Hütte stands; the east ridge runs over the Bergleskopf (2,577 m) to the Kaiserjoch (2,306 m) and the Kaiserjochhaus. The Schwarze Grat links it northward with the Fallesinspitze (2,769 m).

The hiking paths around Stanskogel developed during the early Alpine exploration period when mountaineers first systematically mapped the Tyrolean peaks in the 19th century. This path network later enabled access to wider mountain regions and led to the establishment of mountain huts.

The summit attracts mountain walkers from Austria and Germany who seek traditional high Alpine experiences in this region. Local mountain clubs maintain the paths and huts here, creating meeting points for climbers from different areas.

The easiest ascent is the marked trail from the Leutkircher Hütte at 2,237 m over the Hirschpleißkopf (2,549 m), taking about two hours; the upper section is somewhat exposed and secured with fixed cables. Inexperienced hikers should go only with experienced mountaineers or a guide. From the Hirschpleißkopf a link leads to the Lechtaler Höhenweg, so there is no need to descend back to the hut.

The Lechtaler Höhenweg crosses Stanskogel's south flank on the section between the Leutkircher Hütte and the Kaiserjochhaus. A link from the Hirschpleißkopf, the 2,549 m sub-peak on the southwest ridge, joins the summit path to the long-distance route, so walkers need not descend to the hut.
