Description
From the parking lot, head west on undulating terrain towards the Draxlerloch piste. You cross this and reach the Scheinecksattel a little later. From here, the trail becomes much steeper. Once you reach the ridge path, turn right. The trail flattens out and a final upswing leads to the summit. An impressive panorama awaits as a reward. For the descent, follow the ascent route.
