An idyllic and sunny hiking route with stunning views! The starting point is the lift car park at Bergbahnen Oberperfuss, which is free of charge for anyone using the lift. Take the gondola up to the Stiglreith lift station at an altitude of 1,363 m. This is the start of the hike.

From there, take the signposted path on your right, which is a secluded trail leading slightly uphill through the forest. Along the way, you will frequently be treated to wonderful views across the valley and of the surrounding mountain landscapes. There are also plenty of benches where you can stop for a relaxing break and enjoy the absolute peace and quiet.

This route takes you west, below the "Schigymnasium" school, to the "Eichenwald" oak forest. Just before the bridge over the Stamser Bach stream, turn off onto the nature trail and follow it uphill. At the next bridge, cross the Stamser Bach and you'll come to a labyrinth of paths. The route continues uphill from the upper end of the labyrinth and leads to a high-altitude trail. From there, the route turns west to join a forest road, which you continue to follow for quite a distance. At the first bend, the route continues straight on to the west and follows a flat path with beautiful panoramic views. When you come to the sign for the "Stadliger Wasserfall" (Stadlinger waterfall), take the narrow path that leads downhill to the waterfall and then continue between the moss-covered landslide blocks down into the valley. Finally, follow the paved road east, past the Sellrain-Silz power station, through the oak forest and back to the starting point.

From the centre of Stams, follow the paved road through the village to the hamlet of Hauland. From there, join the forest road, which leads mostly uphill. Several quite steep sections and bends follow before the route flattens out and takes a straighter course.

Next to the hut is a Rococo chapel with a hunting lodge and a small lake.   The mountain hut Stamser Alm is temporarily closed!
