On a broad ridge to the north over hilly terrain up to the »cannon barrel«.
To the left of it, stay on your back and the easy way to the summit.

Starting point / end point:
Grünberglift valley station near Obsteig, Gruenberglift.at
Route:
From the parking lot along the ski slope towards Zwischenensimmering.
Later, follow the toboggan run to the Holzerhütte (hunting lodge) and continue flat over the saddle, known as the intermediate simmering.
Past the second hunting lodge, always stay on the toboggan run (forest path) or shorten the hairpin bends in the forest.
Shortly before the Simmering-Alm, climb over the now free ski area to the west to a small wooden cross and almost flat to the southwest to the broad northeast ridge.
Over this ridge to the broad summit of the Simmering.
If you want to stop off at the Simmering-Alm, you have to keep to the left on the descent so as not to lose too much height.
From the Alm you can ski down in the forest when there is high snowfall (steep).
