Description

Turn right at the top station Sommerberg and make your way down on the goods track (path AV no. 324) to the Weitentalbach (stream). Cross over and join up with the cart track (no. 17) which brings you along to the Bichlalm .
After a leisurely stop at the mountain hut, we follow the well-groomed forest track No. 17 down into the valley.
After just under 1 km, we turn right into the valley and into the woods, and walk down into the valley towards Hintertux. We emerge from the winter woodland and continue across fields covered in deep snow until we come to path no. 11 above Hintertux (house numbers 744 to 749c).
