Classic descent from Riffel II through the rear Rendl back to the valley station of the Rendl lift. Heavily frequented, therefore relatively safe, and very scenic.

The descent through the Hinterrendl is a very popular variant, as it is accessible directly from the Riffel II chairlift without any uphill. Since the basin is very frequently used, the Hinterrendl can certainly be considered a relatively defensive variant. However, during the descent, you cross the steep slopes of the Rendlspitze and Gampberg, so this descent should not be underestimated. At the end of the run, before reaching the pull path, you have to ride a fairly steep and unpleasant bump slope. This should be kept in mind if skiing with weaker skiers.
Author’s recommendation
About 100 meters below the point where the pull path meets the regular ski piste, there is a small alpine hut. A stop here is definitely worth it, especially because it is often very difficult to find a place in the overcrowded restaurants in St. Anton.

From the Riffel II mountain station, you ride eastward into the large basin until you reach the flat valley floor. Here, you continue downstream over moderate terrain. The wide valley floor allows for a variety of variations. Towards the end, the valley narrows, and you keep left by the trees in the direction of the descent. Usually, the bumps then become more frequent as additional tracks from the Gampberg join in, and the narrow descent gets quickly worn out. After the bump slope, you come to the pull path, which leads back to the piste.
