Hike to the Hirzer

From the Gasthof Hanneburger, follow the alpine path to the Povers Alpe. Once there, take an unmarked path ascending always to the right of the highest house. Footprints are clearly visible, but a bit of orientation sense generally does no harm on this route—besides good fitness! From the Povers Hochleger, continue south along a cirque path, veering west into the cirque with a view of the Olperer. From here, markings are unclear, so it is better to follow the numerous stone cairns. At the height of the Lanner Cross (situated south of our ascent), the path turns east onto the broad ridge of the Hirzer. Head towards a large stone cairn, then continue along the ridge. Upon reaching the ridge, you will finally see the summit cross of the Hirzer among the rock blocks to the south. From here, it is an easy rock scramble in about 10 minutes to the summit cross at 2725 m. Return the same way.
