Selected alternatives for you

    Scenic and easy route that offers a lot for relatively little effort.

    About one third of the one and a half hour route can be done on the mostly packed hiking trail. Then follows gently to moderately steep terrain.

    From Balderschwang, follow the winter hiking trail towards Siplinger, past the 2000-year-old yew. From the "Obere Balderschwanger Alpe" onwards, you need to find your way through gently to moderately steep terrain.

    The summit offers an unrestricted panoramic view!

    The descent initially follows the ascent, then continues down the slope with a pleasant gradient. After a short section through the forest, the alternation of the packed winter hiking trail and some open spaces with gentle slopes between the trail sections remain.

    Roadbook

    From the eastern village edge of Balderschwang, take the winter hiking trail towards the "Obere Balderschwanger Alpe." From the alp, continue uphill along the road. As soon as you reach a small basin, climb up the slope on the right side, stay right below the rock walls, and find a small forest glade in the woods. Once you arrive at a kind of valley, immediately bypass the valley on the right side (do not cross it). Otherwise, you would have to climb a 5m high steep and partly icy cornice. Follow the ridge on the south side until another valley appears. You can already see the summit but should approach it from the east, thus passing once through the valley (at the end offering a breathtaking view) and then turning left onto the summit.

    Equipment

    Standard touring equipment. The terrain is relatively avalanche-safe (you still need to conduct your own hazard assessment). An avalanche transceiver, shovel, and probe, as well as a first aid kit, are part of the standard equipment for ski tourers despite the easy route.
