Via the toll-free panoramic road Stubachtal, the trail leads you through one of the most impressive Tauern valleys to the starting point of the mountain experience - Enzingerboden at 1,480 m above sea level (13 hairpin bends - from Uttendorf approx. 17 km).

From here you start with comfortable 6-seater gondolas to the middle station Grünsee (1,740 m) and then on to the top station, the Berghotel Rudolfshütte at the Weißsee at 2,315 m. As soon as you step out of the gondola you are in a high alpine hiking and viewing area with glacier and many 3,000m peaks.
