Hierzegg - Sulzenhals - Hierzegg Map

Start in the forest direction Bachlalm, when reaching an open meadow continue straight into a larch forest. Turn slightly left into obvious gully, that will lead you to a final ridge. On the way down you can enjoy long turns on not a steep face. Second half of the descent pretty much copies the ascent route.
