The Aherkogel is a 2803 meter high mountain on the front Kaunergrat , a mountain range of the Ötztal Alps . From it two secondary ridges branch off from the main ridge, which pull down towards the Pitztal . The Kitzmörder (2435 m) lies on the northern ridge and the Stallkogel (2605 m) in the northeast ridge . The north ridge of the Aherkogel slopes down towards the Kitzmörder in a striking ridge.
Ascent
According to literature, the normal route up the mountain from the north-western Krummen See (2584 m) leads easily over the ridge to the summit. The base for an ascent is the village of Hairlach , about three kilometers to the northeast , a district of the municipality of St. Leonhard in Pitztal . From there, the path leads first in a westerly and then southwards direction over the Mauchelealpe up to the Brechsee (2145 m) and on to the Krummen See.
