From the Finkenberg district of Persal, the tour starts on an asphalt mountain road to Astegg. Via a forest road, the route leads in long loops to the mountain station of the Penken cable car. Through Swiss stone pine forests, the route climbs gently to the Penkenjoch. From the Wanglalm it goes over the area of the former magnesite factory to Tux-Vorderlanersbach. Tip: Save 1,255 meters in altitude with the Finkenberger Almbahn.

Author’s recommendation

On the way you can still see buildings of the highest magnesite plant in the Alps at that time.
