Hippoldspitze (2,643 m) from the Lizumer Hütte

Lizumer Hütte to Hippoldspitze (3h 15 min): From the Lizumer Hütte (2,019 m), first follow the access road (gravel road) for 100 meters to the Bilgerihütte (lower wooden building). From here, go past the front of the Bilgerihütte on the left (not the back) and for 15 minutes along the Zentralalpenweg 02A and AV 319 downstream, past the Soldatenkirche and above the camps of the military training area to the fork with a distinctive stone block. At this fork, follow the signpost "Grafennsjoch/Weidener Hütte" to the right and ascend about 520 meters in elevation (total ascent) eastward and further downstream below the Torspitze, Eiskarspitze, and Hippoldspitze to the Grafennsjoch (Krovenzjoch) at 2,450 meters above sea level.

The ascent to Grafennsjoch initially runs below the Torspitze and Eiskarspitze, steadily uphill with some flat sections and small ascents and descents through short forest passages and over alpine meadows with several small mountain streams to cross until reaching the fork below the Hippoldspitze.

At this fork, where the AV 314 comes up from the Melangalm, follow the signpost "Weidener Hütte" to the right: now follows the final, consistently ascending, steeper, and somewhat exhausting last ascent over alpine meadows to the Grafennsjoch (2,450 m). At the signpost, turn right (signposted "Hippoldspitze/Vallruckalm") and ascend southwards to the summit cross of the "Hippold". The ascent initially gently rises over meadow terrain, then becomes increasingly rocky and rugged, until in the middle section it goes over a short scree passage and finally over the broad grassy ridge to the summit cross of Hippoldspitze (2,643 m).

The ascent is rewarded with a magnificent 360-degree panorama of the Tyrolean mountain world with its glaciers and the valleys below. From the Hippoldspitze, the starting point of this route, the Lizumer Hütte, can also be seen together with the distinctive peaks Geier (2,857 m), Lizumer Reckner (2,886 m), Lizumer Sonnenspitze (2,831 m), and Tarntalerköpfe (2,756 m).

Hippoldspitze to Lizumer Hut (2h 20 min): The return follows the same route as the ascent. From Hippold, go back to Grafennsjoch (2,450 m) and continue on the AV 319 always following the signage "Lizumer Hütte" to the starting point, the Lizumer Hut (2,019 m).
