Access to the starting point:
Drive through the Karavanke Tunnel into Austria, then continue to Spittal and on to Lienz (the motorway ends a little after Spittal). We continue along a relatively nice and wide road through the Drava Valley, which leads us into Itali. The road continues past Dobbiaco/Toblach and Brunico/Bruneck. We continue on the main road and then join the motorway to Austria (direction Brenner, Innsbruck). In Innsbruck, follow the motorway westwards along the Inn River (direction Innsbruck-West at the motorway junction). Leave the motorway at the exit for the Fernpaß Pass. Continue over the pass and when the road starts to descend, turn right towards Ehrwald (there are also signs for Zugspitze at the exit). After passing through Ehrwald, turn right towards the Ehrwalder Almbahn cable car. The road then starts to climb and we keep following the signs for the cable car. Park in one of the car parks at the bottom station of the cable car.
Path description:
At the bottom station of the cable car, first continue right along the road, then after a few dozen metres continue left on the macadam road after the "Ehrwalder Alm" signs.
From the crossroads, the relatively flat road runs along the forest and soon leads to another crossroads. At the crossroads we continue straight on the road, and a more difficult path (Immensteig) branches off to the right towards Lake Seebensee.
The road continues along the ski slope at the edge of the forest and leads past the bottom station of the chairlift and a small hut on the side of the road. At the hut, where the view opens up towards the top of the Westliche Plattspitze, continue slightly left and start to climb a little steeper. The road then leads into the forest and continues to climb quite steeply. Higher up, you come to the left side of a circular cable car and continue climbing through the forest. When you come out of the forest and back onto the ski slope, your path turns right and then follows the right-hand side of the cable car again. The road continues to pass close to the cable car alongside the ski slope. This route, which also offers increasingly beautiful views, soon leads to the hut at mountain pasture Ehrwalder Alm, where the upper station of the circular cable car is also located. The mountain pasture can also be reached by cable car in the summer months.
