| Comments: | This orientation walk headed through the village past the fountain, Spar and the Tourist Centre before making its way along good paths on the western side of the valley. Unfortunately views were limited due to low cloud. Lunch was taken at the Kartnall Alm before another short climb. A zig zag path took us down past Milders to Neustift. Passing the church we then headed along the eastern side of the valley to return to Fulpmes. | ||
