Festkogel is a very attractive ski tour between the rocks with a breathtaking view of the whole Gesäuse and the Enns valley. From the parking (of the Hesshütte), nearby the restaurant and Hotel Kölblwirt towards the waterfall along the trail. Continue through a steep narrow rock ditch towards the tower Schneekarturm. Around the tower until the last part of the climb. By frequent crossing of steep slopes, the Festkogel is recommended a ski trip in stable conditions.
