Directions

If there is enough snow, you can go up the forest road via the Kolbenalm towards the Kolbensattel. When you come out of the forest, keep to the left. Going down, you first go to the right of the toboggan run before you have to cross it once. Keep to the left over the second drag lift slope and head down into the valley. The first drag lift slope is reserved exclusively for skiers and tobogganers.

If there is not enough snow in the forest, you can use the ski touring valley run to ascend.
