Description

On the marked trail, no. 132, we hike over grassy slopes on the orographic left side of the valley on the connecting trail to the Adolf Pichler Hut/Starkenburger Hut, at the third junction we leave the high trail and climb steeply in small hairpin bends to the uppermost part of the Viller Grube. Over a small scree slope we continue up to the Horntaler Joch. From here we reach the frequently visited summit on a marked trail over the northeast ridge.
