The
Pirchkogel (or also
Pirchkogl) is a mountain, 2,828 m, in the
Stubai Alps 
in Tyrol. It is a good viewing mountain.
Geography
The Pirchkogel rises north of
Kühtai 
(2,017 m) and the Dortmunder Hut (1,948 m) immediately above the road over the Kühtai Saddle. Together with the rock faces of the
Irzwänden (2,757 m) to the east and the twin peaks of the
Grießkogel (
Vorderer 2,666 m and
Hinterer Grießkogel 2,673 m), its arêtes surround a plateau known as the
Schwarzmoos ("Black Moss").
Biology
Here there are four little mountain lakes, including the
Gossenköllesee 
at 2,413 m, up to which the ski region of Kühtai extends from the valley. Until 2014, the smallest Austrian UNESCO biosphere reserve (85 ha) was established in the area around the lakes where long term research into water ecology was carried out by the University of Innsbruck.
