Keeskogel

Parent rangeHigh Tauern, Venediger GroupClimbingNormal routeClimb from the Kürsinger Hut (challenging mountain walk)

The Keeskogel, a mountain with a height of 3,291 m (AA), lies in the Venediger Group of the High Tauern in Austria. The summit is located about 4 km as the crow flies northwest of the Großvenediger (3,666 m (AA)). The waymarked, glacier-free normal route from the Kürsinger Hut (2,547 m (AA)), is a relatively straightforward climb in dry and snow-free condition and takes about 1½ to 2 hours to reach the summit (sure-footedness required). Especially impressive in good weather is the view from the summit of the north side of the Großvenediger and the main chain of the Tauern and the glaciated landscape of the Obersulzbachkees and Untersulzbachkees.
