The Thaler parking lot is located directly above the Oberthaler snack station and is the ideal starting point for the leisurely hike, duration approx. 1.5 hours with a wonderful view. From the parking lot, straight ahead via Marienweg towards Hösljoch/Hösl chapel. After about 20 minutes’ walk, you reach the Hösl chapel and Hösljoch. To the right after the Hösl chapel the path leads up towards Höslalm.
