Along the sunny ridges of the Hirzer massif
Wind-swept paths and sweeping horizons.
Beginning from the upper station of the Hirzer cable car, this moderate hike takes you along panoramic ridges towards the Cima del Pegno (2390m). With consistent but gentle elevation gain, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of the Sarntal Alps and beyond. Ideal for photographers and those seeking wide alpine vistas without technical terrain.

Views above the Meraner Höhenweg
This hike is a classic for those using the Hirzer cable car as a gateway to the highlands. The route is exposed to the sun, with little shade, making it perfect for clear days with minimal wind. Cima del Pegno offers fantastic viewpoints and is often overlooked by the more frequented Hirzer summit. Keep your eyes open for paragliders and golden eagles above.
