Pizes De Cir
Gran Cir
The first tourist ascent to the peak took place on 7 August 1887 by Johann Santner and Gottfried Merzbacher from the west side. Today the Gran Cir is accessible via the normal route, a path not requiring climbing experience. The way leads first through a gravel field, then along a wall and high up to the summit. In some places, the way is secured with a wire. The top is marked with a large cross.
Piccola Cir
The peak of the Small Cir Italian: Piccola Cir has an elevation of 2520 meters. This peak is east of Gran Cir, close to the mountain station of the Dantercepies cable car. The top is marked with a small cross. It can be reached via a relatively easy via ferrata(B/C). The path leads, secured, from the eastern side to the summit, and then unsecured on the western side down again through a gravel field.
