As an alternative to the Hirzer Pass, we’d like to present the slightly easier “outer loop” route here. It begins with a scenic traverse up the slope to the Stafellalm, descends a good distance toward Videgg, and later involves a considerable climb from the Streitweider Alm up to the Oswaldscharte. Here, the granite Ifinger dominates the landscape. On the other side, we re-enter the Meran 2000 ski and cable car area.
From the Hirzerhütte, head quickly across to Klammeben (Hirzerbahn), then follow a pleasant trail along the mountainside (No. 40) almost level toward the south to Stafell, voted South Tyrol’s most popular alpine hut in 2019. We follow the road down the ridgeline for a short distance and then look for the sharp left turn onto the Waldsteig trail toward Videgg, at about 1,550 m. The route descends quite a bit on the way there, ending in a pasture. Incidentally, this charming mountain hamlet is home to three inns, making it a great destination for a hike. We continue slightly downhill on a road to cross the Rötenbach ravine. On the opposite slope, we veer left onto Trail No. 40 before Trail No. 19 takes us to the clearing at the Streitweider Alm, 1,560 m. Perhaps someone would like to refuel before tackling the longest climb of the day. The route up to the Oswaldscharte is well-marked and downright comfortable in the sparsely wooded section. Between 1,900 and 2,000 meters, we emerge from

Mark Zahel
Mark Zahel hat als fleißiger Wanderer und Bergsteiger bisher mehr als 3000 Tage auf Alpentouren verbracht und schöpft aus dieser Passion seit über 20 Jahren eine intensive publizistische Tätigkeit. Die Liste seiner Buchveröffentlichungen umfasst inzwischen rund 80 Titel – in jüngster Zeit sind auch einige Wanderführer über norddeutsche Regionen hinzugekommen. Seine Kenntnisse reichen über weite Teile des Alpenbogens, besonders häufig aber ist er in dem breiten Streifen zwischen Bayern und Südtirol unterwegs. Zahel vergleicht seine Erkundungen gern mit einem Puzzlespiel, dem immer wieder neue Teile hinzugefügt werden, ohne dass es jemals »vollendet« werden könnte oder sollte. So bleibt die persönliche Entdeckungslust ungebrochen, während sich das »Gesamtbild« nach und nach immer detailreicher herausschärft.
