Gartnerkofel (2195 m) is a mountain in the Carnic Alps in Austrian Carinthia. It is located on the main ridge above the Naßfeld Pass, near the border with Italy. The nearest town is Hermagor-Pressegger See. The mountain has two peaks and ravines that drop from the northern slopes, separated by rocky ridges. The normal route is from the northwest, where it is an easy ascent along the ridge to the summit. The mountain is also a popular skiing destination.
The slopes of Gartnerkofel are the only place in the wild where the endemic flowering plant Wulfenia carinthiaca grows. It was first discovered in 1799 by the mountaineer and botanist Franz Xaver von Wulfen and is now a popular garden plant.
