Description

We start at the Bichlalm and follow the wide forest trail no. 17 out of the valley. After just under 1 km we turn right into the valley into the forest and hike to Hintertux into the valley. We come out of the winter forest and continue across fields covered in deep snow until we come upon trail no. 11 above Hintertux (house numbers 744 to 749c).
Here we decide whether to hike out of the valley on trail no. 11 and no. 12 to Madseit, or whether we prefer to go inwards to the end of the valley to the glacier lift.
