Starting at Arzkasten car park, take the steep Alpsteig path to the Marienbergalm mountain hut. From there, follow the gravel path towards Marienbergjoch. Just below the Marienbergjoch ridge, a trail leads west towards the Handschuhspitze. You need to be sure-footed for this steep alpine path, which crosses scree fields and leads up the mountain to the summit. The views from the top are fantastic.

Forecast
A moderate southerly airflow will bring warm, dry air from the Mediterranean to our region. The weather will thus be bright and dry with pleasant temperatures.
It will, however, be a bit windy, particularly on the mountains.
Tendency
This fantastic early summer weather will persist Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
