The hike begins in Niederthai at the Sennhof parking lot. From there, turn right over the wooden bridge towards the district of Höfle and after about 200 meters turn right into Bergmahderweg. You walk along the wide forest path – Bergmahderweg. The sunny spot by the Hubertus Chapel invites you to linger. The last section leads into a narrow descending hiking trail and over the bridge you reach the Larstigalm directly. On the way back you walk on the left side along Grastalweg past the Grastal field on the wide forest path through an enchanting larch and spruce forest. Over a slightly descending ridge with a railing, you reach the Hotel Falknerhof. There, following the asphalt road to the right, you return to the parking lot. Alternatively, at the curve before it goes down to Hotel Falknerhof, you can take a narrow, somewhat steeper hiking trail (shortcut) back to the starting point, the parking lot.

The hike begins in Niederthai at the Sennhof parking lot. From there, turn right over the wooden bridge towards the district of Höfle and after about 200 meters turn right into Bergmahderweg. You walk along the wide forest path – Bergmahderweg. The sunny spot by the Hubertus Chapel invites you to linger. The last section leads into a narrow descending hiking trail and over the bridge you reach the Larstigalm directly. There you can relax on the sunny terrace. The hospitality of Ludwig Scheiber and his wife, as well as the Tyrolean dishes on the menu, are especially appreciated by the numerous guests. By the way, most of the dishes are prepared with products from their own farm. On the way back, you walk on the left side along Grastalweg past the Grastal field on the wide forest path through an enchanting larch and spruce forest. Over a slightly descending ridge with a railing, you reach the Hotel Falknerhof. There, following the asphalt road to the right, you return to the parking lot.
