Upon reaching Mauslasattel, follow a path right through the Hemer forest to the Lower Hemerachalm. Then continue up to the Upper Hemerachalm. You now leave the tree line and enter rockier terrain. The final ascent to the ridge is quite steep - once reached, the last ascent leads to the summit cross. The descent is via the same route. For very fit hikers who have enough time, the route via the Hemerachscharte with descent to Grastalsee is recommended. From there, continue through the Grastal valley downwards (Attention: this route takes an additional 4-5 hours!).
Travel comfortably and safely by train to Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel by public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination!
