Hirzer and Hoenig peak

We decide for the "classic" journey: By car from Scena to Saltusio (25 minutes), at the valley station is enough free parking available. From there we take the cable car to the top station Klammeben, once at the middle station you have to change to a somewhat larger gondola. In the first morning hours here is still nothing of the big hustle and bustle to discover, which will develop here on sunny Sundays in high summer like today!

Starting from the mountain station, this hiking tour begins on the hiking trail to the Staffell Hut. On the flat, wide path there we enjoy the first rays of sunshine and breathe in the scent of the alpine roses, while the last high fogs disperse and the morning dew glistens on the grasses in the first rays of sunshine. Arriving at the Staffell Hut, we reflect on happy hours spent here as we turn to the now steep ascent over the ridge.

After the arduous first meters of altitude on the narrow hiking trail, we pass the Weather Cross, while the cows there do not dignify us with a glance, our gaze wanders again and again to the Videgger Asssen to the south, which are basking in the first light and make the peak of the Ifinger behind them seem almost threatening. Further and further over the ridge the path becomes a bit more technical, there are some easy climbing passages in partly exposed positions to master. You also notice that the air has become a little thinner, the breath goes faster, partly also from joy to have reached the first stage of the day: The Hönig peak (2689 meters) is located to the left of the hiking trail and can be reached from there in a few minutes!
