Schalfkogel at 3537 m is the highest mountain in the surroundings of Obergurgl. It towers majestically at the rear end of the valley and can also be seen clearly from Gurgl Carat. In winter as in summer, it casts a spell over mountaineers. The view of "Schalf", as it is called in Gurgl, is just as beautiful as the view beyond 3500 m.
