Achomitzer Berg 1815 m in the Gailtal (2)

Short tour to a panoramic summit in the eastern Carnic Alps from the Gailtal valley. The Achomitzer Berg (Monte Acomizza) is a border mountain to Italy (Kanaltal). To the south are the nearby Julian Alps with the Mangart and the Wischberg and to the north the Gailtal Alps. The short tour can easily be extended with an ascent to the Oisternig from the Gailtal (see Tour 1).

HIKE UP: From the Feistritzer Alm at the Sella Bistrizza board at 1720 m slightly uphill to the Maria Scgnee chapel at 1750 m, with beautiful views. Then downhill, partly in the high forest to the Sella Pleccia saddle at 1616 m with a signpost. Now we climb up to Achomitzer Alm 1712 m and over the grassy ridge up to Achomitzer Berg 1815 m. Small crooked summit cross, but great view of the Julian Alps with Montasch, Wischberg and Mangart, all around 2700m high. 235 metres of ascent and a brisk 35-minute walk.

TRANSITION and DESCENT: Follow the same route back to the Maria Schnee chapel at 1750 m and then continue without a path to the nearby Gozmann at 1795 m with the best views of the Feistritz Alpine pastures and the Osternig. Steep, pathless descent directly to the mountain pasture where our car is parked. 185 metres in altitude and 3/4 hours.

In total: 420 metres in altitude and a good 1 1/4 hours at a brisk pace.
