From the Glemmtal to the Spieleckkogel
THE VALLEY END OF HINTERGLEMM IS AN IDEAL STARTING POINT FOR VERY DIFFERENT SKI ROUTES IN THE KITZBÜHEL ALPS.
The Spieleckkogel (1,998 m) is indeed in “dangerous” proximity to the slopes of the Glemmtal Hochalmbahnen, yet not too many off-piste skiers get lost on this shapely snow pyramid. With some sense of orientation, the solitary Spieleckkogel is a rewarding alternative to the always very busy Staffkogel or the much-visited Sonnspitze. With sufficient desire and fitness, the destinations can also be well combined. Due to the different slope orientations, this may be a sensible consideration in changing snow quality.

Directions
From the Saalbach-Hinterglemm Mitterlengau bus stop (end stop of line 680) it goes again 200 meters along the street downhill and then left uphill to the Biopension Vorderlengau. In the last S-curve before the pension, the ascent to the slope branches off to the right and leads into a steep forest service road in the upper right corner. Then a beautiful slope opens again, at the end of which another service road continues to the right through the forest belt. At a fork, the ascent runs briefly to the left over the ditch, directly afterwards it goes pathless through a steep piece of forest to the alpine meadows behind, at the upper end of which is the Spieleckalm (1,570 m). From there, do not follow the summer path "Spieleckkogel," but instead follow the opposite direction "Sonnhof" for 10 minutes on foot to the signposted junction of the "MB-Tour Hochalm." The track leads through the increasingly thinning forest, then over free, moderately steep slopes in a northwesterly direction to the southern ridge and along this further to the summit. Descent as ascent.
