Description

The starting point is the parking lot at Sattele above Ochsengarten. From there, you first go up the forest road to Feldring Alm. The alm is located at the tree line. Above the alm, the hiking trail begins over the Feldringerböden to Faltegartenköpfl. Several paths are available for the ascent. The Bettlersteig is the most challenging path up to the summit.

Due to the exposed location, you have a beautiful view over the Inn Valley despite the low altitude.
