First, a waymarked path leads across the wide open Alpine meadows of Erlalm Alpine Pasture. Thereafter, the path continues across scree, talus and rugged terrain over to the beginning of the scree cirque and upward to Eppzirler Notch. On the climb across the cirque, the path forks; follow signed (“Eppzirler Scharte”) track no. 212. Climbing steeply, the trail furiously works its way up to the notch located between Kuhlochspitze Peak and Erlspitze Peak. Beyond, walk on a well-maintained path across Kuhloch scree cirque, which is steep on its top and then becomes wide and shallow. From here, the path zigzags down and merges into lush Alpine meadows at an elevation of approximately 1700 metres. After another short steep ascent with scree, you finally reach the Alpine valley floor. From here, the path gently descends and leads to Eppzirler Alm Alpine Pasture Hut, running parallel to the (desiccated) streambed.

From the pasture hut, you leisurely descend on a broad roadway across grazing pastures to Eppzirler Tal Valley and continue in the same direction heading towards the entrance of the valley. Pass the branch-off to
