The hike begins at the trailhead parking lot above the Braunhof (Schmuders). You’ll hike steadily uphill through a sparse mountain forest to the wooden summit cross on the Saun. Once you reach the top, a spectacular panoramic view rewards you for the climb.
For the return trip, take the trail down to the beautifully situated Prantneralm, known for its excellent cuisine and large sun terrace. After a leisurely break, a wide, easy forest trail leads you back to the starting point on flat, gentle terrain in just under an hour.
