Description

From the village centre car park walk through the village passing the church on the left. Turn left and follow the signs for "Thierberg". Follow the signs for "Steinweg" towards the "Hösljoch" (approx. 1 h 30 min) and turn left after the chapel taking the steep uphill path to Gratlspitze (approx. 2 h from the Hösljoch). The panaorama is breathtaking!

Follow the descending route in a westerly direction to the Bischofer Saddle, Bischofer Alm (you can get something to eat and drink at the Bischofer Käsalm in the next curve) and the A6 path direction "Hausberg". Walk back to the starting point. 

Please note; there are some exposed sections between the ridge and the Bischofer Saddle - sure-footedness is a prerequisite!
