The trail leads through lush patures to Schönwieshütte. Here you continue through rock strewn grass slopes to the peak of Hangerer. 300 m below the peak you have to cross a snow field. The ascent is a bit stenuous but well worth it for the magnificent views of the Ötztal and South Tirolean Alps.

Walking time:

  • from Obergurgl (1,930 m): 3,5 hrs
  • from Schönwieshütte (2,262 m): 2,5 hrs
