Ochsenaelpeleskopf
Route Character
Nice tour in the Ammergebirge with a 45° descent over the N-O summit slope or for the easy variant down the ascent ridge.
Starting Point & Village
Starting point: Hiking car park Hotel Ammerwald Village: Oberammergau
Ascent & Route
Ascent starts at Hotel Ammerwald along the forest path and follows the signs to Jägerhütte. At about 1400m one branches off to the left from the ascent track in the direction of Hochblasse through the forest and up to Hirschwängalpe. From there, head south to the ridge and follow it to the summit.
Descent & Variants
From the summit just follow the ascent track back a few meters and then descend into the N-E summit slope… you can easily memorize it on the ascent. We went down to the Hirschbergalm and then climbed a few metres back on the ridge again to continue riding through the light forest over the mountain ridge along the border between Bavaria and Tyrol.

Map Explanation
- Slope inclinations are a very important criterion in avalanche risk management. However, slope inclination alone should never be the sole criterion!
- The resolution for Austria and South Tyrol is based on a digital terrain model (DTM) with 10m resolution. Outside these areas, accuracy is significantly lower.
- A map can only ever provide a limited view of real conditions.
