Ennser Hut - Almkogel (from Bamacher car park)

This hike leads to the highest summit of Großraming, the Almkogel at 1,513 m. There are two ascent options, either from Großraming railway station on hiking trail 492, about 3 hours to the Ennser Hut (1,293 m) or by car to the Bamacher car park. From there, about 1 hour to the hut. The summit of Almkogel (1,513 m) can then be reached in 45 minutes.

A splendid view over the Kalkalpen National Park and the surrounding mountain world rewards the ascent.
