Of the many different route possibilities, we recommend a hike that offers the best views and shows the stunning alpine flora, namely from the malga Tscharnietalm in the south to the malga Uwaldalm in the north. This particularly rewarding hike is a round trip that can be walked in either direction and is easy for the regular hiker. We recommend, however, to only do a part of the route.
