Directions
The starting point of the hike is the car park at the Helmjet Sexten cable car, from where you can comfortably take the gondola up to the mountain station. From there, the varied “Fairy Trail” (trail no. 4) leads to the Jägerhütte hut (1802 m). The route then continues along trail no. 2 across the Wetzwiesen to the Gasthof Waldruhe (1580 m) on the Außerberg. The return path initially follows the asphalt road towards Sexten. At the Egarter farm, turn right onto the meadow path no. 2A, which leads to the Gols farms and then to the Hösler farms. From there, you can reach the center of Sexten (church) either via a streamside path or along the paved road.
