From the center of Gargellen (1,423m), you cross the next bridge over the Suggadinbach to the forest edge at the foot of the steeply rising Schmalzberg and hike on a farm road to the Vergaldaalp (1,820m). From there, the route continues on an alpine road with moderate inclines about one more hour valley inward. From the Rotbühel hunting hut, the mountain trail winds upwards to the 2,515m high Vergaldner Joch. Through a cirque hollow, you reach the Mittelbergjoch at 2,415m elevation. From there, it goes steeply downhill about 100 vertical meters again, then only slightly descending until you meet the path to the Garnerajoch. Here, you continue straight and reach almost level the Tübinger Hut (about 1 hour from the Vergaldner Joch).
