Starting point of this route is Hochwurzenhütte on the summit of Hochwurzen (1,852 m). From Schladming you take the Planai buses to the valley terminal from where the cable-car takes you up to the summit. Alternatively you can take Hochwurzen Trail (trailrun #6 equal to hiking trail #60) to the top (an additional 3.7 kms and 720 m in vertical ascent).
On the East side of Hochwurzenhütte you start out on trail #60 and via »Kleine Wurzen« run downhill to Hüttecksattel mountain saddle, from where you continue uphill again to Rossfeld - a long grassy ridge. From there you descend to Latterfußsattel where Laubschachen Trail (trail #8) crosses your way (coming from the right at Ursprungalm and continuing to the left towards the valley terminal of Hochwurzen cable-car).
From Latterfußsattel you then continue up to Guschen (1,982 m), a summit offering great views. From there, hiking trail #773 takes you to Hochfeldmandl (a big stone pile) via the small summit of Schneider which is covered by dwarf pines. You continue along the grassy ridge of Hochfeld towards the rough flanks of Schiedeck summit. Through very exposed terrain - first on the East flank, then on the West flank of the summit - you run by below Schiedeck. Along grassy ridges you continue with slight up- and downhill sections, passing by above Klammsee lake until you reach Brettersee lake. From there you run down along the small creek and across the slope located above Ignaz-Mattis-Hütte (1,986 m).
Turning left at the hut the Schladminger Tauern Trail (a total of 45.7 km and over 4,500 m in vertical gains and losses) continues. Turning right, you continue your route along Giglachseen Trail. You run west on hiking trail #702 towards Giglachseehütte and Ursprungalm. Enjoying the panorama of the Giglachseen lakes you run to Preuneggsattel mountain saddle from where you follow hiking trail #771 down to the finish at Ursprungalm. From there, take the bus back to Rohrmoos and Schladming. Very well-trained runners and pros can connect to Laubschachen Trail (trail #8) here and run back to the valley terminal of Hochwurzen cable-car.
