The most popular route going to Ponten peak is the one that also includes climbing the nearby Bschießer. The tour starts in the parking lot at the end of Hinterstein. From there you first have to follow the signs up to the Willersalpe (1456m). From there we continue through a grass gully in the direction of Zirleseck (1872m). With a breathtaking view over the Tannheimer Tal and many of its peaks, our path now leads west. Once you've followed the path for a bit longer, you can already climb the last few meters on slightly rockier paths to the top of the Ponten. After a short rest on the summit, you then have to descend a bit further on a ridge before you can climb over scree to the summit of the Bschießer.

From here we descend to Zipfelsalpe where we stop for a well deserved drink before going back to the valley. On the way we have lovely views to pretty Zipfelsbach waterfalls.
