From the train station in Vipiteno (Sterzing), it is a short hike to Prati (Wiesen)/Vizze (Pfitsch). From there, start out on Trail No. 24, then turn left up to the Gschließegg lookout point, and continue on Trail No. 5A to the Plitschalm alpine pasture. Continue along Trail No. 5, pas the Trenser-Joch-Hütte mountain hut and the Jägerjöchl notch to Passo di Trens (Trenserjoch) and Malga Simile (Simile-Mahd-Alm). This is a strenuous and demanding climb up forest paths and narrow tracts, with some very steep grassy slopes.

This is the first leg of the Alta Via di Fundres (Pfunderer Höhenweg) high trail. We recommend that the total trek be covered in six legs, one leg per day.
