We start the ski tour at the valley station of the Bürgeralpe Express. Now we follow the toboggan run until shortly before the pavilion. There we turn first right and then left into the forest and cross the race track. (Attention skiers have priority!) Now we go along the forest path to the Hofstatt descent and on this at the edge of the slope to the summit.
After the ascent, a stop at the Berggasthof or the Edelweißhütte is a good idea and afterwards we enjoy the descent on one of the perfectly groomed slopes.
