The walk begins at the Seiser Alm mountain station in Compatsch and leads out to Ritsch and then on, through vast Alpine meadows, to the Sanon hut with its incredible views over the Langkofel and Plattkofel. Return to Ritsch along the same route, and then a gentle climb takes you to the Tuene hut, past the Steger-Dellai Hotel and back to Compatsch.
The route can be shortened by taking the Almbus No. 11 to or from Ritsch Schwaige.
