The hike begins at the Fane Alm parking area, accessible via a narrow mountain road from the village of Vals. Initially, you follow trail no. 17 briefly in the direction of Fane Alm. Shortly after, you turn right onto the alpine road to Tschiffernaun Alm– a more relaxed alternative to the steep trail 15A. The road leads you up to Tschiffernaun Alm. At the beginning, you walk through dense forests, passing by small waterfalls. Later, near Stin Alm, the forest opens up to expansive alpine meadows.
You can park conveniently at the Fane Alm parking lot (for a fee), which is the starting point of your hike.
One the Fanealm parking area is completely full, a shuttle service will be activated, starting from the Berg am Boden parking are.
