May 30, 2023,König Laurins Rosengarten – vom Nigerpass unter der Rosengartengruppe entlang über Haniger Schwaige, Plafötsch Alm und Tierser Waldgarten zurück

A really fabulous round, which is quite exhausting on the last ascent. If necessary, you could use the bus to get back to the Niger Pass from the lowest point. Although there are still a number of beautiful views to be enjoyed.

Today you could choose between spikes or snowshoes. I think the spikes were the better choice because there were also completely snow-free sections in between.

Today we hiked from St.Zyprian to the Vajolet Towers via the Plafötschalm to the Haniger Schwaige. Very varied over root paths, developed hiking trails, along a stream, over picturesque alpine pastures and past old larks.
