The stage begins in Mayrhofen and initially leads towards the Schlegeis Reservoir. This first section can either be completed comfortably by bus or, for more ambitious hikers, on foot via various hiking trails.
Upon reaching the Schlegeis Reservoir, the true alpine part of the stage begins. From the dam, the trail follows the valley, gradually ascending towards the Zamsgrund. The route runs along well-maintained paths through an impressive high-alpine landscape, offering views of glaciers and surrounding peaks.
After some time, you reach a small bridge crossing the Zamserbach stream. Continue further into the valley and then keep right to enter the Zamsgrund. From here, the trail continues steadily through increasingly alpine terrain.
The Pfitscherjochhaus is an ideal place to stop for a rest.
From there, the route descends towards the Pfitsch Valley. The descent follows well-developed paths through wide alpine pastures and increasingly gentle terrain until you finally reach the valley floor.
