Route: First go along the road in the direction of the alpine hut Lahner, then keeping to the forest road continue in the direction of Kösertal. On reaching it, there are three possibilities:
From Kösertal to the right on the Gamplsteig Nr.5, past crucifix. Here the climb via the north ridge to the top of the Weisshorn begins. The last section is very steep, but the magnificent view into the Bletterbach is worth the effort.
From Kösertal along the forest road and footpath Nr. 9 to Neuhütt. Keep following the forest path and the signs for Nr. 2 as far as Alpine hut Auerleger, and then further as far as Jochgrimm. From here take footpath H to ascend the Weisshorn.
From Kösertal follow path Nr.5 and 5a, and then from the signs for Nr.1 via Hoferwiese as far as Jochgrimm. Then take footpath H to ascend the Weisshorn.
The return route for all three variants is via footpath H to the Alpine hut Gurndin. Turn right by the Alm (Alpine meadow), taking footpath N - Neuer Weg - then later W – Zirmersteig. At the fork bear right again, following the Gorzsteig G, climb down into the Bletterbach, cross the gorge, and climb up again to the Alpine hut Lahner and continue on to the Alpine hut Schmieder. Here you follow footpath S, and later 2, and return again to the main road and the starting point.
Special tip: It is a special experience to climb the Weisshorn before dawn, and enjoy the sunrise up there.
