The ascent to  the Great or Small Ifinger is varied. At the beginning you walk through a beautiful wood, then on large and wide spread meadows, until you finally reach the summit of the Ifinger over rocky terrain. After reaching the top a breathtaking panorama opens up to you. You can have a look over the whole Burggrafenamt, the Sarntaler Alps, the Texelgroup and the Val Venosta. On your way you shopuld note the chapel, which you will pass. It is dedicated to Sáint Oswald.

The following alpine huts are on your way and you can stop and have a rest: Zuegghütte, Rotwandhütte, Berggasthaus, Pfifflinger Köpfl, Kuhleiten and Falzeben.

Attention: This is a difficult and demanding hike! Good conditiones, surefootedness and an immunity for high altitudes are needed! Especially for the last section of the way to the Great Ifinger. For those who get easily dizzy, the Small Ifinger is a worthwhile summit aim.

Time to calculate for the way to the Ifinger: 330 min
