    The impressive Tschirgant massif is a highlight for every hiker. East of the Tschirgant lies the destination of this route, the Haiminger Kreuz. You start on the north side of the mountain in Strad. There the route begins with the mountain bike and involves a climb of over 9 km, climbing a consistently steep 1000 m in altitude. Shortly before the Haiminger Alm (1786 m), the path becomes slightly flatter and you can recover a bit until you finally reach the idyllic and beautifully situated alm. This is now the end point for the bike. Please be careful not to block any path when locking your bike. After a short stop at the alm, you continue on foot. Among dwarf pines, you first hike a little steeper uphill until you reach a pleasant traverse on the mountain ridge, with impressive panorama views. The last section to the summit becomes steeper and more exposed again. Once at the top, you can enjoy the magnificent view over the Inn valley into the Ötztal and as far as the Timmelsjoch.

    Equipment

    We recommend wearing bike protective gear (elbow pads, knee pads, helmet, back protector, ...) on all mountain bike routes. Make sure you only use a bike that meets today's quality standards. When on bike & hike routes, it is always advisable to carry a lock.

    For hiking, wear appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-adapted outdoor clothing. Ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, a hat, and possibly gloves are required for all hikes and routes. Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as enough provisions for hikes without refreshment options, is necessary.
