Directions

The hike starts at the mountain station of the Sennigrat Bahn on the Hochjoch and leads over an easy path to the Wormser Hut. From the Wormser Hut, it goes steeply up to the summit of the Kreuzjoch. A short climbing section must be tackled, but it is quite manageable. Otherwise, this can also be bypassed (alternative: road from the Wormser Hut). Once you reach the summit of the Kreuzjoch, a fantastic view awaits you. You descend via the narrow hiking path and reach the Grasjoch area (Grasjoch Hut, Furkla) after about 45 minutes. Continue a short way slightly uphill. At the next signpost, orient yourself towards Alpguesalpe, Ronaalpe, and Silbertal. After about an hour, you reach the Alpguesalpe. Note that the Alpguesalpe is not managed. Follow the path further downhill. After another 45 minutes, you reach the wide road. Nearby is the Ronaalpe. Now turn right and follow the wide road towards the back of Silbertal valley. At the end of the forest, or shortly before the Lower Gaflunaalpe, you reach the stop of the hiking bus. The hiking bus takes you back to the center of Silbertal.

Equipment

Sturdy and high shoes with a good tread sole. A head covering, sun protection, and trekking poles are recommended, as well as carrying sufficient food and drinks.
