Kochofen (1,920m), round trip via the Schladming Alm

From Michaelerberghaus, you will head via Loskögerl to the Kochofen, where you can enjoy a majestic view of the Sölk and Sattental. From there, continue heading towards Spateck and take the junction towards the Schladming Alps at Schladminger Törl and back to Michaelerberghaus via the Stiegleralm.
This attractive tour starts at the Michaelerberghaus with a wonderful view of the Ennstal. You hike over the Loskögerl, mostly through the forest to the Kochofen. From there, you walk along a ridge towards Spateck. As you hike along the ridge, you will repeatedly have great views of the Kleinsölktal and especially through the Sattental to the Hochwildstelle - the highest mountain in central Styria. You can stop off for a cozy break at the Schladminger Alm.

More information

B320, from Schladming, take the Pruggern, Galsterberg exit, continue towards Moosheim/ from Liezen, take the Gröbming WEST/Moosheim exit

Take the junction at Michaelerberg in Moosheim and follow the road until reaching Michaelerberghaus.

You can enjoy a beautiful view of the Ennstal, the Dachstein and the Ramsau mountains. The climb to the peak immediately begins with a steep step on a road; only a few flat areas interrupt the climb. You mostly go uphill in the forest, occasionally interrupted by a beautiful and in-depth view of the Sattental, until reaching the Loskögerl crossroad (1,548m).

With a beautiful view of the Sattental and the Kleinsölk, the path continues slightly uphill until the last climb to the summit cross. Then comes another uphill climb until you can see the cross from afar.

After a brief rest, the path continues at the summit cross on the right side of the ridge towards Spateck. There is a steady uphill and downhill traverse through Fleischkögel, Lafenberg and below Dromeisspitz to Schladminger Törl (1,945) mountain saddle. There, turn right towards the Schladming Alps (Path no. 22), where you can enjoy a break as well as local food and drinks.

After the break follow Forststraße out of the valley into the north until reaching the Stiegleralm’s first signpost. From there, walk towards the right and follow the climb and signposts to the serviced Stiegleralm cabin. After taking a break, continue through the Jägerstieg - first, the climb will lead through a meadow, through the forest and directly to the Kochofen hiking path. Make a left at this crossroads and head down to the Michaelerberghaus starting point.
