The tour spans a diverse route of over 26 km along the sunny side of Piesendorf, renowned for hiking, mountain biking, and its rich flora featuring numerous alpine flowers such as alpine roses, arnica and gentian. The path from Hochsonnbergalm to Pinzgauer Hütte offers magnificent views with old forest stands and lush alpine meadows. Special highlights include the dining options at both huts, serving homemade specialties. From their sun terraces, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramas of the Hohe Tauern. From Pinzgauer Hütte, you might catch a glimpse of the impressive Grossglockner ;)
