Yellow Gewänd Trail

Highlight • Trail

We used this path for the descent from Kramer via the Stepbergalm. Great trail, lots of hairpin bends, but no difficulty. The waterfall on the way is a great photo opportunity.

Summit Cross Vordere Ziegspitz

Highlight • Summit

At 1,815 meters, the Vordere Ziegspitz is the small neighbor of the Hohe Ziegspitz. A simple wooden cross marks the promising summit. The Stepbergalm is only a stone's throw away.

Stepbergalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Cozy Alm with homemade dishes and good buttermilk. The descent is still a long way, it is worth taking a break here. From the Alm you can see the Kramerspitz, the Hohe Ziegspitz and the Hirschbichl.

October 1, 2021,Hoher Ziegspitz, Stepbergalm zurück über Gelbes Gwänd

Great mountain tour. Up over the Kreuzweg, on to the Hohe Ziegspitze (from the Stepbergalm approx. 1 1/4 hours) with a little easy climbing and back over the Gelb Gwänd (indicated with approx. 2h descent time). In addition, great weather and only a few hikers on the way. Can really recommend the tour.
