From Obergurgl through the beautiful Zirbenwald to the Schönwieshütte. Over lush green meadows from the Schönwieshütte across rocky grassy slopes leads the hiking trail to the Hangerer. Below the summit, the hiker crosses a snowfield. But the ascent is worth it. You have a wonderful view of the Ötztal and South Tyrolean Alps.
Hiking time:
- from Obergurgl (1,930 m): 3.5 hours
- from the Schönwieshütte (2,262 m): 2.5 hours
