This pilgrimage route leads from Krimml in Pinzgau (AUT) to the Tauern Pass (Ahrntal valley, South Tyrol), then on to St. Jakob/San Giacomo, Weißenbach/Rio Bianco and the Chemnitzer Hütte refuge (Lappach/Lappago). It then continues to the Edelraut Hütte refuge (Lappach/Lappago), via the Pfunderer Valley (Puster Valley) to the trail junction at Niedervintl, and then down in to Switzerland (Müstair) via the Eisack and Vinschgau valleys or via the Brenner Pass to Innsbruck (AUT).
Starting from the historic Tauernweg trail, the route continues from Heilig Geist in Kasern/Casere towards St. Jakob/San Giacomo, Weißenbach/Rio Bianco and the Chemnitzer Hütte and Edelraut Hütte refuges with a descent through the Weitental Valley to Niedervintl. The extended route leads along the existing Way of St. James through the Eisack Valley to Bolzano, the Vinschgau Valley and Müstair in Switzerland. Alternatively, from Mühlbach there is another variant, which heads further north to Sterzing and Brenner and finally to St James' Cathedral in Innsbruck.
