Description

The first pink signposts can be found in the middle of the village of St. Martin. If you start from Friggahüs, you will also find the first signposts near the post bus stop.

Behind the houses of St. Martin, the route climbs steeply uphill. It is a good idea to take a less steep track here. Later, the route follows a forest road to Inder Wasma. Please pay attention to the signposted wildlife rest area at the edge of the forest. Once you reach the height of Wasma, you can now trudge horizontally to Wasma. It is worth taking a long break here, as the views of the Brigelserhörner are simply unforgettable.

The descent route is now designed so that you can slide down fun slopes or hike down at a leisurely pace. There is often light powder snow in this area because the sun only shines flat in winter. The wonderful panorama is always in view. Almost at the end of the tour, you can walk straight down to Friggahüs to the post bus stop or cross back to St. Martin to the car.
