Yes - the Hochzeiger really does show off the chocolate side of some high peaks. Most of them belong to the Ötztal Alps, but many also belong to the mountain groups on the other side of the Inn Valley. In a nutshell: the climb is worth it for the view.
From Jerzens at the entrance to the Pitztal valley, the Hochzeigerbahn gondolas take you up to panoramic heights above the Pitz and Inn valleys. From the mountain station, a panoramic loop awaits, which culminates at the summit of the Hochzeiger and requires a certain degree of surefootedness and mountain experience. During the hike, you have wonderful views of the various mountain ridges of the Ötztal Alps and far beyond the Inn Valley. The Kalbenalm is a charming place to stop for refreshments and there are lovely places to take a break along the way, for example at the landscaped pond.
Starting point: gondola bottom station. Take the gondola to the Mittelstation (interme diate station). From there take the path to the right towards the Zollberg peak and continue to the left on the Ferdinand-Wohlfarter trail up to the Hochzeiger peak (2,560 m). Following this a beautiful panoramic path continue to the Sechszeiger peak (2,360 m). After the peak take the path to the left downhill to the catered mountain hut Kalbenalm and return to the intermediate station.
Take the bus to the bus stop Jerzens Hochzeiger. Then take the gondola (section I) to get to the starting point.
Parking is available at the valley station of the Hochzeiger Bergbahnen.
