Ascent: From Ried, cross the valley floor to the wooden bridge. Cross the bridge and ascend a steep hollow to the right of the stream, below the Steinhof farm. Above the fence, keep left until you reach a surfaced path, then continue along it, bearing right. Follow a forest road into the Valtigltal valley. Where the road makes wide switchbacks to the left, you can take a shortcut straight ahead along the right side of the stream. Continue along the right-hand side of the stream until you reach the Valtiglalm alpine hut (1,741 m), where the valley is blocked by a rocky barrier. Proceed to the base of the rock step and ascend the slope to the right, which narrows towards the top and ends to the left at the exit of a gully. Traverse left onto the ridge and continue along it until you reach a small alpine hut on the now flatter terrain. Continue across several small hollows to reach the Entholzer Alm alpine hut (2,039 m), which you pass on the left. In safe snow conditions, you can also reach the Entholzer Alm from the Kaserstattalm by ascending the left-hand slope. Climb moderately up to a rounded ridge, then continue to the right below the steep summit slope, keeping to the right, until you reach the summit cross.
Descent: Same as ascent.
The designation “passable” refers solely to the accessibility of the route and does not provide any information about avalanche conditions. These must always be assessed independently before each tour.
The equipment must be adapted to the weather conditions. An avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe, first aid kit and a map are indispensable.Maps: AV map 31/3 Brennerberge mountains; Tabacco 038, Sterzing/Vipiteno – Stubaier Alpen/Stubai Alps; Tabacco 039, Passeiertal/Val Passiria
