Mondscheinspitze

You start at the Gernalm, where you park your car in the hiking car park.

Since it is a south-facing slope, you should start very early in summer. You pass the Gernalm and then follow a wider track upwards in switchbacks.

Shortly before the Plumsjoch hut (a short detour is possible, about 10 min extra), you turn right up a grassy hill.

On the path, it goes easily upwards to the Plumsjoch, where the first summit cross awaits.

From here it becomes a bit more alpine and absolute sure-footedness is required, because slipping on the loose scree means a quick fall. To reach the summit you repeatedly need your hands and have to overcome several climbing sections with almost vertical rock faces. The most dangerous places have fixed ropes, which are just aids and not protection.

On the summit, you have a great view in all directions.

On the descent, it is initially a bit steep and slippery on the scree and there are still a few small climbing sections. From there it goes comfortably through meadows and forest down toward Schleimsattel. From there you follow the somewhat boring forest road into the valley. (Unfortunately, quite the hike)

At the bottom, at the (dried up in summer) stream, you turn right and go gently uphill again to the Gernalm.
