From the car park at St. Martin (890 m) in Gnadenwald you follow the toll road at the beginning, but leave it after a short time and follow the signposted path towards Hinterhornalm (1,522 m). After about 1 1/2 hours you reach the Hinterhornalm. Here the view opens up shortly before and you can see the Inn valley and the Tuxer Alps.

The path continues to the Walderalm. This rustic alp and the Karwendel behind is worth a photo opportunity!

The descent can be made along the same path as the ascent or shortly after the Walderalm in direction south. The forest path leads down to St. Michael, from where it then returns to the starting point at the forest line.
