The Isskogel is a 2,264-metre mountain in the Kitzbüheler Alps of Tyrol. It stands north of the Gerlospass and overlooks the village of Gerlos, which calls it the local mountain. To the east the Königsleitenspitze rises to 2,315 metres, while to the west the Kreuzjoch reaches 2,558 metres. The nearest settlement beside Gerlos is the hamlet of Königsleiten.
The mountain is fully equipped for visitors. A network of walking paths and several ski lifts serve the Isskogel, which belongs to the Zillertal Arena ski area. The Isskogelbahn carries people up to about 1,900 metres in both summer and winter. From the top station mountain bikes can be taken down marked routes.
At the upper station there are wide views across the Alps. The lift runs frequently, so walkers and cyclists can time their ascent. The paths link to longer tours that cross the ridge to the Kreuzjoch. In winter the slopes are groomed and lift-linked, making it a busy resort.
