A short tour starting from the car park of the old Hungerberg ski resort where you climb through the forest on the summer walking trails. After reaching the treeline at 2200 metres follow the ridge until you meet the large cross at the false summit, from here there is a large plateau with views of Tällistock and the surrounding mountains. Those wanting to travel further should bring crampons for skis and boots.

Description

After reaching the false summit line choices will be found on the west face where a short featureless pitch will be found. Staying above the trees will leave you on another summer trail that contours round the mountain and eventually back to the old ski resort.
