- Description
-
Fantastic mountain tour. Magnificent impressions and views give this round tour a wonderful touch. The tour can be extended either to the Gaishorn or to the Rohnenspitze.
- Directions
-
Starting from Zöblen-Katzensteig we hike southwards. After the last houses we slowly walk a little bit upwards. The Pontental begins. We follow the path further. Slowly but steadily we cover some meters of altitude. After the timberline we gradually reach the ridge. Here you have the possibility to hike to the Rohnenspitze or the Ponten. We keep to the right, pass the mountain rescue hut and after a short time we reach Zirleseck. Here you can enjoy the wonderful view of the surrounding mountain peaks. We descend to the alpine pasture Älpele. After a short rest and a delicious snack, we continue downhill. Shortly before the first houses we keep left and walk on the high trail back to the starting point in Zöblen.
