Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive into Austria, and then we continue driving on the Tauern motorway. Further, we drive through the Katschberg Tunnel and later also the Tauern Tunnel / Tauerntunnel, and we follow the motorway towards Salzburg (also Solnograd) only to the exit for Radstadt, Schladming. We continue on the road to the town of Schladming, where we then continue left on the ascending road following the signs for Ramsau. In the town of Ramsau, we continue a good 2 km on the mentioned road, and then we turn right on a toll road, where signs for the gondola cable car direct us. We follow this road all the way to a large parking lot in front of the bottom station of the gondola cable car.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue past the bottom cable car station following the signs Südwandhütte. The path first leads on the right side of the cable car through a sparse larch forest, later turns to the left and crosses slopes towards the west. Soon the path towards the climbing garden (Klettergarten) branches off to the right. We continue crossing the slopes towards the west and from the left the path from a lower starting point joins us. From the junction, there follows approximately 10 minutes of walking on a scenic slope to the hut Südwandhütte.
At the hut, we continue right following the signs Hunerscharte and ascend a short grassy ridge above the hut. The path then brings us to the southern mostly grassy slopes below the summit Scheiblingstein. We cross the slopes in a gentle ascent towards the east and the path brings us into the valley below the gondola cable car. Here the path turns left and begins to ascend up the valley. During the ascent up the valley, we have a nice view towards the peaks Türlspitz, and soon a view towards the summit Hunerkogl also opens up, to which the gondola cable car leads. The path continues on the right side of the valley and begins to ascend somewhat more steeply. Higher up, the path turns slightly to the left and ascends through scree that brings us to the more demanding part of the path.
The path first ascends alongside the steel cable, then becomes slightly steeper and some bolts and brackets assist us. We continue ascending alongside the steel cable and soon arrive below the wall of Hunerkogl where the extremely demanding climbing path Skywalk Klettersteig branches off to the left.
Our path here turns right and begins to ascend steeply alongside the steel cable with the help of numerous bolts and brackets (difficulty B). The path then becomes slightly less steep for a short time (difficulty A/B), then follows an ascent up a steep gully with the help of bolts towards the notch Hunerscharte (B).
On the notch where a view opens towards the north, we continue left following the signs Bergstation Hunerkogel. First we ascend alongside the ridge towards the west, then the path turns right towards the glacier. Here the climbing path to Hunerkogl branches off to the left (difficulty C/D), while we continue on the path that begins to descend slightly over the glacier. When walking on the glacier, we stick to the equipped path, as there are also crevasses on the glacier. After a short descent, the path brings us to a junction, where we continue left and begin to ascend towards the saddle Gjaidsteinsattel. On the saddle, we continue left and a short ascent follows to the summit of Hunerkogel, where the upper station of the gondola cable car is.
