Hint / Advice:

Access

Direct access from the Dr.Vogelgesangklamm car park in approx. 1.5 hours (approx. 620 m, trail no. 614).
Via the beautiful Dr.Vogelgesangklamm gorge and the 3 hut hike in about 3 hours (approx. 620 m, trail no. 601).

All these ascents are well marked and are also ideal for families!

Alpine approaches:

For those who want to reach the summit of the Great Pyhrgas via the Hofersteig (helmet recommended due to falling rocks!) in approx. 4 hours (approx. 1200 m, trail no. 601 and 615).
For those who want to reach the summit of the Great Pyhrgas via the Hofalmsattel in about 4 hours (approx. 1200 m, trail no. 601 and 614).
