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.

Steinhaus/Cadipietra - Schwaiger farms - Moser Ebene - Hochfeld - Bärental - Hochfeldalm - Schwaiger farms

Beginning the walk in the cultivated land in the valley, we cross into typical high alpine larch forests. The forest is of great importance since it protects the valley from avalanches and falling rocks - but it can only fulfill this role if the flora and fauna are kept in a harmonious relationship. Above the woods, we find alpine cabins - witnesses of past labours. Over the years, farmers have shaped the landscape and kept it balanced.

The 4 huts trail in the Ahrntal valley is a long-distance hiking trail that offers a dreamlike landscape of glaciers, lakes and grass-covered mountains that are often like islands in the middle of high mountains.

Once you have mastered the steep ascent to the Hühnerspielhütten, a wonderful clearing opens in front of you, with the picturesque Hühnerspiel huts embedded in the alpine pasture. From there you can enjoy the view reaching from the Dreiherrenspitze to the mountain ridge on the orographic lefthand side of the valley. The Wollbach valley has maintained its unique character of a high alpine pasture and the whole valley is covered in pink during the blooming of the alpine roses. Walking along the vivid glacial waters of the Wollbach, we arrive at the alpine hut bearing the same name and back to the starting point.

"Antrische Löcher" eerie holes are ancient test tunnels from the time of the copper mine in Prettau/Predoi, which can be found in various places in the Ahrntal valley.
