Großer Höllkogel, Mountain summit in Ebensee, Austria.

Großer Höllkogel is a mountain summit in Ebensee reaching 1,862 meters with several marked hiking routes that vary in difficulty. The paths pass through coniferous forests, alpine meadows, and rocky terrain with some steep sections.

The sources record no mining history for the summit itself; its documented past is as a hiking and ski mountain. The Rieder Hütte of the Austrian Alpine Club stands on the northern foot, less than a kilometre from the top, and the marked routes 820, 830, 831 and 833 lead up from the Feuerkogel cable-car station and from Langwies via the Vordere Spitzalm.

The summit cross with its summit book stands at 1,862 m, the highest point of the Höllengebirge. The Rieder Hütte of the Austrian Alpine Club lies just under a kilometre north of the top, about 45 minutes away on foot, and serves as the base for most ascents.

The hike to the summit takes about three and a half hours and covers roughly ten kilometers with around 540 meters of elevation gain at moderate difficulty. Weather conditions can shift quickly at altitude, so waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear are recommended.

The Kleine Höllkogel, 1,788 metres high, lies immediately north of the main summit and is often passed unnoticed. The summit cross carries a Gipfelbuch, a logbook where hikers record their ascent. The Rieder Hütte of the Austrian Alpine Club stands less than a kilometre from the top on the northern slope.
