Description

From the parking spaces, start in the direction of the valley and walk to a farm on the other side of the stream (bridge). Then the trail leads straight upwards across meadows to the edge of the forest. After the short stretch of forest, cross another meadow and keep a little to the left towards the Paulerhof farm with chapel. Pass the farm on the left and continue until you reach a path on the left edge of the meadow. Cross this and continue up through the forest until you meet the same path again. Pass a small cross and head northwest through the sparse larch forest up to fairly level terrain. Walk above the forest line in the direction of Eggerjoch (2,132 m), but turn right before it and walk across a hollow through two ridges to the summit with iron cross at 2,280 m.
