From Saltusio in the Val Passiria take the Hirzer cable car to 2,000 m  above sea level From the terminal at the top the short hike to the Gompm alpine hut begins. This alpine hut is different insofar as it stages numerous unusual festivals and interesting musical events so it is definitely worth visiting from time to time.

The hike takes you along route 40 as far as the Hirzer alpine hut, then left along route 5B through meadows to the Gompm alpine hut. Finally it's about half an hour's walk back on the wide forest path along route 2 then left along route no. 8 through the woods to the cable car.

Parking is available at the terminal at the foot of the cable car in Saltusio, in Val Passiria.

By bus from Merano to Saltusio, and from here by cable car to the terminal at the top of the mountain.
