Description

From the Gern Alm (1,172 metres), walk in the direction of the Plumsjochhütte. Follow the trail to the Plumsjoch as it climbs over some very steep sections across the flank to the summit ridge (2,106 metres). From here, walk to the Schleimssattel from where a steep switchback trail descends back to the Gerntal. This tour requires sure-footedness and a head for heights! The route can be walked in either direction.
