Larmkogel, Alpine summit in Hollersbach im Pinzgau, Austria.
Larmkogel is a 3,017-meter (9,898-foot) summit in the Venediger Group characterized by steep rocky walls and slate formations near its peak. The mountain displays the exposed terrain typical of high alpine peaks in this range.
The Larmkogel lies north of the Larmkogelscharte (2,934 m), the saddle crossed on the route between the Neue Thüringer Hütte and the Neue Fürther Hütte. The marked normal route climbs from that saddle over the south ridge to the 3,017 m summit, with fixed ropes on the steeper passages. The mountain is documented in the Alpine Club guide to the Venediger Group by Willi End (2006) and on Alpine Club map sheet 36.
