The crossing of the Tschirgant towards the Simmering is quite a strenuous day route with some elevation and kilometers. The view from the summit and along the ridge is fantastic.

The ascent from Karrösten via the Bergwachthütte to the summit of the Tschirgant starts moderate, then becomes steeper. Before the summit, some easy climbing on a ledge – secured with a rope. Then continuously up and down always along the ridge, alpine and somewhat exposed at first, later through the mountain pines to the goal.
Author’s recommendation
At the four base points - Karröster Alm, Bergwachthütte, Haiminger Alm, and Simmering Alm - you can enjoy fine food and drink.
On the ascent to the Bergwachthütte, there are numerous indications of the former mining activity. Currently, there are interesting information boards about this and the nature along the Schmittensteig path.
