The Nassereinstrasse road leads from the base station of the Nassereinbahn cable car in St. Anton to Hotel Tannenhof, where a forest road continues. Follow signs for "Putzenalpe" until the first water catchment. Turn right here and follow signs for hiking trail number 28 ("Putzenwaldweg"). The forest path merges with the forest road, which leads in around 15 minutes to the Putzen-Alpe alpine farm.

Simply turn around and follow the same route back for your return journey.
