The circular trail leads along a practically level path through the lush alpine meadows and alpine bushes – called „Latschen“ (needle bushes) and rises gently through the „Latschen Labyrinth“ to the so-called Schneeofen (snow oven) along the south-eastern edge of the terrain. The alpine meadow path takes a south-westerly direction at a later stage, crosses the alpine path to the Schrockengrat ridge and leads slightly uphill again to the viewing platform „Dachsteinblick“. From here the path continues downhill: meandering through alpine needle bushes in downhill serpentines to the fascinating view of the two most prominent peaks, Great Priel and Spitzmauer (pointed wall), also reflected in the waters of the Schafkogel Lake. From the lake the path passes a small mountain chapel and leads back to the mountain restaurant Berggasthof Höss and further to the top station of the 6-person chair lift, the Höss Express.
