Start off at the hamlet of Flading at the head of Racines (Ratsching) Valley (1,482 m; tavern; parking), which is accessible via Stange on a good road from Vipiteno (Sterzing). Follow Trail No. 12 through the forest up to a crossroads. Turn left, continuing on Trail No. 12, which has a medium grade, to the grassy slopes of the abandoned Fladinger Alm alpine farm, and then continue (more steeply) up rocky and grassy slopes to Klammalm alpine farm (1,925 m); about 1.5 hours from Flading. Descent: From the Alm, take the narrow path, via Klammalmboden, to the northern edge of the pastures. From there, climb down Trail No. 13A to the crossroads described along the route of ascent and go back to the starting point; a good hour from Klammalm.
