From the Matscher Valley from Glieshof into the Upital, up to the first level past the Upialm, then a somewhat steeper short section to the second level to the Upisee. The return route to the Upialm first follows a level path along the hillside and then descends somewhat steeply back to the Alm.

A nice route with little difficulty. Only one spot requires some caution on the way back.

From Gieshof (1824m) it steadily goes uphill on a service road through the forest to about 2000m. Then the open view into the Upiatal begins. First, it goes comfortably slightly uphill to the Upialm at 2225m. Shortly behind the Alm it becomes steeper uphill to the second level, where the lake is located at about 2550m. The entire time we are on hiking trail 9. On the way back, we go somewhat up and down along the slope on path 9A. At the level of the Upialm, the path then descends relatively steeply in switchbacks back to the Upialm and from there the old path goes comfortably back to Glieshof.
