Refreshments: Huber Hut, Labenberg Alm, Pitschenberg AlmRoadbook
From parking lot 3 we hike gently uphill on circular route 3 over alpine meadows westwards to the staffed Huber Hut. Just behind the hut we follow the forest road to the left in the woods, first downhill, then ascending again to the Labenberg Alm. We head for the distinctive east ridge of the Labenberg and follow this relatively broad, grassy ridge in three distinct stages up to the fenced summit cross.
Descent on the ascent path back to the Labenberg Alm and further northwards on the alpine road to the staffed Pitschenberg Alm. To the left of the buildings we reach a sparsely wooded, broad hollow with a few short rocky sections, which leads in a wide left curve to the summit slope. Passing a small wooden hut, the south flank of the Pitscherberg is first overcome via steep alpine meadows. Above that, we reach the summit of the Pitscherberg with a cross and an amazing panorama through wide larch passages in a right curve.
Back on the ascent path to the saddle between Pischerberg Alm and Labenberg Alm. Here we turn left onto the marked circular route 3, which leads over undulating alpine terrain with some ups and downs back to the Huber Hut and parking lot 3.
