The Vilser Cone, darkly forested and furrowed by grim scree channels, certainly does not provide an exceptionally beautiful backdrop directly south of the small town of Vils, especially since the limestone quarry "Fall" has also torn a large wound in the landscape. The information board promises at least "an interesting glimpse into Earth's history, a window to understanding the geological structure of the Northern Limestone Alps." For the hiker, the much more attractive summit perspective comes into play at the top, looking over to the peaks of the Tannheimer Group, but above all out into the Füssen lake district and over the Ostallgäu pre-Alpine mountains. The notch with the rough name "Hundsarschjoch" connects two different access points, which we can combine into a circular route. Those who want a place to stop towards the end should choose the eastern route through the Hundsarsch Valley for the ascent, as the Vilser Alm in the Alptal on the west side offers a peaceful conclusion.
We start at the Galgenberg parking lot, 835 m, on the small road to Konradshütte (lift) and follow the forest road with a wide curve to the right or alternatively walk off-trail straight over the ski slopes. Later, you reach a stream and continue the ascent beyond it on the path. We move through a trench-like cut, cross another forest road, and reach the leveling near the Hundsarschalpe, approx. 1370 m. Past the small hut through open forest for a while, then over a flat area and up to the Hundsarschjoch, 1600 m, which lies north of our summit. Near the south ridge, ascent is now through dwarf pines and rocky sections. Due to rugged obstacles, one soon moves more to the right flank, makes a few loops, and reaches the summit cross on the Vilser Cone, 1831 m, via a weakly defined gully. The absolute highest point, however, is a few minutes' walk further left along the ridge.Back at the pass of Hundsarschjoch, we turn west and follow a sometimes quite rough path downhill.

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.
