    The tour around the Widderstein has now become a classic for fit mountaineers. It is also possible from the Hochtannbergpass, but then takes about an hour longer.

    Author’s recommendation

    If you have time, you should take a look around Koblat, an interesting "Stone Sea."

    Roadbook

    From the bus stop, you cross the bridge and reach the track that leads to the Bärgunthütte. Then continue into the valley until the steeper ascent to the Hochalppass begins. From the pass, there is a slight ascent and then a gentle descent over to the Widdersteinhütte. From there to the Gemstelpass, then follows the longer descent over two alpine meadows back to the starting point, unless you head to the Gemse bus stop to save some distance.
