Challenging summit tour; to save time, it is recommended to ride by bike until just before the Möslalm.
From the Naturpark-Infozentrum Scharnitz, follow the Hinterautalstraße to the Gleirschhöhe. There, take the turn-off to the right into the Gleirschtal. Initially, the road leads downwards before going steeply uphill for a good stretch over the so-called "Krapfen". Continue several kilometers further into the valley until the Möslalm junction. Shortly before the Möslalm, turn left and follow the forest path until the signpost for Hoher Gleirsch. Park the bike here and follow the narrow path. From here, proceed on foot through forest, mountain pines, and over scree-filled terrain to the summit. Return via the same route.
Sure-footedness and a head for heights are required!
