Travel to the Hochmuth cable car valley station on the evening before you set out. Take the cable car up the mountain to the Hochmuth (inn) and stay there overnight. (Room reservations recommended). The following morning (around 7 am or earlier) set out on your hike. Take trail no. 22 to the right past the Steinegg (inn) to the Mutkopf (inn, 1684 m). Then continue on trail no. 23 to the Mutspitze (2295 m), and then on the same trail (somewhat exposed) to the Taufenscharte. From the Taufenscharte (2230 m) take trail 25 to the right past the Pfitscher Lacke and Kaser Lacke lakes to the Oberkaser Alp (refuge hut, 2131 m). Then continue along trail no. 22 to Lake Gruensee (2338 m). Pass to the left of the lake on this trail and on to Lake Langsee (2380 m). Then bear right past this lake until - at about half way along - the path leads to the right and slightly uphill to a junction. Here turn left onto trail no. 7 and continue to the Hochgangscharte (2455 m). The trail, which is secured with chains and cables, descends to the Hochganghaus (refuge hut, 1839 m). From here take trail 24, the “Meraner Hoehenweg” (Meran High Altitude Trail), to the Leiter Alp (inn, 1522 m) and then continue on the same path to the Hochmuth cable car mountain station. From here take the cable car back to Dorf Tirol.
