Description

The starting point is the Sattele above Ochsengarten. From there, you follow the wide forest road to Feldringer Alm. Above the hut, you will reach lush alpine pastures with small lakes and bogs. In summer, this is a paradise for horses. Via the Bettlersteig, you reach the Faltegartenköpfl (2,184m). A breathtaking panorama over the Inn Valley and the Mieminger mountain range awaits you. The descent goes via the lower Grünwaslkreuz and back over Feldring Alm to Sattele.
