Tips
At 2,455 m you reach the end of the saddle and have a wonderful view of the Langsee. The ascent to this point is difficult, steep and often exposed. Better not to do it in bad weather. The climb is only recommended for hikers who are free from giddiness and sure-footed. Going up is easier than going down, because then you don't always have the depth of the fall in mind.

Since the path over the Hochgangsscharte is only recommended for hikers who are free from giddiness and sure-footed, I would walk the path the other way around. First ride with the Hochmuthbahn, then via the Meraner Höhenweg (No. 24) to the Hochgangshaus and ascent via the Hochgangsscharte to the Spronser lakes. From there to the Oberkaseralm and from there one of the paths that leads back to the Hochmuthbahn. With this path, too, it should be a demanding full-day tour (except for very fit hikers).

You will be rewarded with the beautiful view at the summit. But I recommend the climb by the fireplace. We have descended to the bivouac I would not make infinitely long and unsafe.
