Gsiesertal Valley Almweg 2000 path: Stage Hörneckele, Pfinnalm, Aschtalm

From the valley road at St. Martin (1276 m) follow trail no. 36 westwards up to the Karbacher Hof (1440 m, refreshments available; also accessible by car). From there continue through the Karbach Valley to the Schäfer Alm (1616 m) and further along the forest road branching right, trail no. 52. Continue southwestwards through steep wooded slopes into a small alpine valley (approx. 1800 m), past hay barns and across the Vigeiner meadows up to a small saddle (approx. 2100 m) and from there rightwards to the cross on the Hörneckele (2127 m).

From the Hörneckele you can follow part of the Almweg 2000 by taking the trail marked with a red dot northeastwards across the alpine slopes. At the junction you reach the actual Almweg 2000, which leads to the Pfinnalm (2152 m) and further to the Aschtalm (1950 m, refreshments available). From there, trail no. 10 descends through the forested slopes down to the hamlet of Huiben and further to St. Magdalena (1398 m). Return by line bus to St. Martin.
