The massif is also called the Hochkaltergebirge, Hochkalterstock or Hochkaltermassiv. The Hochkalter massif lies west of the Watzmann massif and, like it, is located within the Berchtesgaden National Park. The Hochkalter mountains are divided into sub-groups known as the Hochkalter Group (Hochkalter-Gruppe), Hocheis Group (Hocheis-Gruppe) and Southern Wimbach Chain (Sudliche Wimbachkette).

Other mountain huts are the Bergheim Hirschbichl for the Hocheis Group, the Wimb
