Description

We start at the Bichlalm and continue below the hut on the prepared descent path no. 15 into the valley towards Hintertux. Then we turn above the fence onto the Bitzenweg in the direction of the avalanche dam. Follow this on a wide path to the tunnel. From here, walk into the valley on trail no. 11 to the end of the valley with the Hintertux Glacier Railway.
