Starting from the Tonner Hütte you can take a drag lift over the Hohe Halt to the Herter Höhe viewing platform. From the mountain station you walk slightly uphill towards the Zirbitz summit.At the signpost next to a striking large stone, the two ascent variants separate via the so-called (SW) gully and the ascent via the winter markings. This turns from this prominent point, a large exposed stone, to the E and after just a few 100 m leads directly into the SW gully, in which you climb steadily until just before the summit. Approximately 50 m below the summit, you cross the steeper terrain in a northerly direction to the Mühlner Sattel, north of the summit. From here it is now possible to climb to the right (SE) directly to the summit of the Zirbitzkogel or to follow the marking poles further east and climb over the Zirbitzkogel refuge.
The refuge on Zirbitzkogel is open during holidays and weekends. It is advisable to find out about the opening times in advance!
