Description

Tux-Vorderlanersbach Village Center – At the valley station of the Rastkogelbahn, the trail branches off through the forest and heads uphill toward the hamlet of Gemais (an old farmstead). Follow the paved access road for a short distance until Trail No. 21 crosses the road and leads between the Alpenjuwel chalets (No. 242) and Haus Sonnrain (No. 241) to the Rosenkranz Chapel. Then, AV Trail No. 321 leads through the Pfisterwald and across the Voglaue to AV Trail No. 315, which heads to the Geislerhof mountain inn—the only place to stop for refreshments on the tour. The paved road runs downhill from the Geislerhof, crosses the bridge, and then winds back up in a few switchbacks to the Geiselalm. Follow the wide, gravel Alpine trail No. 47 to the Hobalm. Ascend to the right through alpine pastureland until you reach the junction with Alpine trails No. 47 and 49 leading to the Geiseljoch.
