Repeatedly the trail crosses the forestry road, which is longer but another option for getting to Hinteralm pasture. On your ascent you enjoy a fantastic view of Loser Mountain, Hoisenrad Alm pasture and Katrin pasture. One can even admire a wild waterfall which originates at Rotkogl Mountain. After a 2-hour hike one get to the first two huts of Hinteralm pasture. From there one can follow the signposts to five other huts. From Hinteralm pasture a 1-hour hike brings you to Mitteralm pasture or a 1.5-hour hike on top of Gamskogl Mountain. As the name tells (Gams = chamois) Gamskogl is home to many chamois. From the summit cross one enjoys a fantastic panoramic view. Hike the same way back to get to Hinteralm and Rettenbachalm pasture.
