After the steep ascent on the serpentine path at Bächital, the trail branches off here and crosses towards the Galmihornhütte. After the gravel path, the ground changes to a narrow natural trail, marked white-red-white. On the mountain hiking trail, you ride through a stony, alpine scenery and can admire the view into the Obergoms on easier sections.
