Surefootedness, a head for heights and a good physical condition are required. A rest in the particularly endangered areas should be avoided. Hike of the Bosruckhütte to Rohrauerhaus and on the Hofer climbing trail to the Großer Pyhrgas. The starting point of the tour is at the car park in front of the Bosruckhütte (approx. 1030 m). From here, you first hike to the Bosruckhütte (1043 m, refreshments available). The first section leads eastwards along a gravel road to the Rohrauerhaus (1308 m). You soon reach the Pyhrgasgatterl, through which the Styrian-Upper Austrian border runs. Follow the border northwards along the Hofersteig trail (trail no. 615 - please wear a helmet due to the risk of falling rocks), initially through wooded terrain, which later turns into rugged terrain. The path climbs steeply up to the pre-summit. As soon as you reach the shelter cave, the path becomes a little easier again and you soon reach the summit of the Großer Pyhrgas (2244 m). On clear days, you have a fantastic view from here! The descent is along the ascent route to the shelter cave. At the crossroads, turn right and hike steadily downhill to the Hofalmsattel (approx. 1425 m, trail no. 614). Here, continue left to the beautiful Hiaslalm (approx. 1280 m) and shortly afterwards you will reach the gravel road that leads back to the starting point.
