From the Spitzbühl car park, the walk leads up to the Spitzbühl hut, where the views sweep over to the Schlern mountain, so close you could practically touch it, with the Santner and Euringer peaks. The walk leads over vast Alpine meadows and on to the Laurin hut. The return trip leads past the Panorama chair lift mountain station to Compatsch and back to the Spitzbühl car park.
