The start is the parking lot at the Gasthof Adelshof. Through the forest (and not the driving route) it goes up to the Birgitzer Alm. A small detour further up towards Birgitzköpfle to the viewpoint overlooking the valley. Then back down and behind the hut, past the small chapel, down to the ski area Axamer Lizum. From there, you can also return to the starting point along the Axamer Bach. This was not done here, as it was a guided hike with bus transfer to the start or end point.

Along the way, you are always traveling at mid-altitude and catch views from various angles such as the middle Inn Valley, the Wipptal and Stubai Valley in their lower areas, as well as the Axamer Lizum. Variety is guaranteed, which also applies to the dining options: with Mutterer, Kreither and Pfarrachalm, Birgitzköpflhaus, Birgitzer and Götzner Alm, there are half a dozen!
