The Gleirscher Rosskogel ( 2994  m above sea level ) is a peak in the northern Stubai Alps in Tyrol . It is not particularly independent, because the higher Zwieselbacher Rosskogel ( 3081  m ) rises about 750 m further north . In the past, P. 3008 in the connecting ridge between the two peaks was called "Gleirscher Rosskogel", which is still marked on some maps; in this case, today's Gleirscher Rosskogel is then referred to as "Gleirscher Rosskopf". On the summit there is a small metal cross with a sign with the current name of the summit and an altitude of 2950  m .

Location and surroundings

The Gleirscher Rosskogel is located in the ridge between the Zwieselbachtal in the west and the Gleirschtal in the east. The Zwieselbachtal is a side valley of the Horlachtal , which flows into the Ötztal below Niederthai . The Gleirschtal is a side valley of the Sellrain . The deepest notch in this ridge running in north-south direction between Zwieselbacher and Gleirscher Rosskogel measures 2946  m . Southeast of the summit is the Gleischrjöchl ( 2750  m ), which separates the Gleirscher Rosskogel from the Schartkopf ( 2831  m ), also called Samerschlag , and the Zwieselbacher Grießkogel ( 3066  m ).

Increase opportunities

The easiest ascent is via Gleischrjöchl, southeast of the summit. This can be reached from both the Schweinfurter Hütte in the west and the Pforzheimer Hütte in the east. From the yoke it goes north-west over a flat ridge shoulder to the summit. From the Pforzheimer Hütte it takes about 2½ hours to the summit, from the Schweinfurter Hütte it is just under 2¾ hours. The entire ascent from both huts is marked .

The transition from Gleirscher Rosskogel to Zwieselbacher Rosskogel, about 750 m to the north, is possible. The most difficult sections of the ridge, especially the flat, steep upswing immediately south of the main summit of the Zwieselbacher Rosskogel, were defused in 2010 by members of the Pforzheim section of the Alpine Club by installing appropriate climbing aids, and the route known as “Via Mandani” is continuously marked. Despite the climbing aids, the ridge , which is somewhat exposed in places, shows climbing difficulties of grade II .

It is also possible to climb the Gleirscher Rosskogel as part of a ski tour, but not as popular as the one to the northern neighbor, the Zwieselbacher Rosskogel. The Gleirscher Rosskogel is usually climbed from St. Sigmund im Sellrain via the Pforzheimer Hütte and the notch directly north of the summit and not via the Gleischrjöchl as in summer.
