Lackenkogel

The Lackenkogel near Flachau offers an interesting all-mountain tour with the best mountain panorama.

Description

The tour starts in Flachau. From here, the official cycle route, initially on asphalt, then alternating on gravel on a medium gradient to the so-called Sattelbauer. From the Sattelbauer, the next section of the uphill also runs on gravel in the forest to the managed Lackenalm. The Götfriedhütte (1623 meters above sea level) offers some culinary delights. From the hut, a few meters are still relatively steep and then the carrying section begins up to the summit of the Lackenkogel (2051 meters above sea level). Grandiose views in combination with a technical descent characterize this perfect bike summit.

The difficulty of the descent is between S2 and occasionally S3, as there are some root sections, especially in the traverse. The route then continues at S2 level past the Lackenalm, then crosses the ascent variant again and again to the Sattelbauer. From the Sattelbauer, the official Sattel Trail then runs back to Flachau with difficulty levels S1 to S2. The tour to the Lackenalm and Sattelbauer is very easy to do on an e-bike. The summit itself should only be undertaken outside of the hiking season or in the fall, as there is an extremely high volume of hikers from the alpine pasture to the summit.

Note: The route is located on Austrian territory and leads over routes that are not approved for mountain bikers. Riding this route on a mountain bike is the responsibility of each individual, in full awareness of the legal situation.
