Take the car in the direction of the Passo Palade and turn right towards Plazzoles. Drive through the village and downhill on the other side until just before the last farm. Before a sharp right-hand bend, there is a small car park in the forest. Now take forest track no. 2, then 3A, which is really steep to begin with, then a very pretty gently undulating hour-long walk to the Gallhof snack station (refreshment stop) with a unique view. Next take forest track (no. 4) which runs in wide loops uphill until reaching the Völlaner Jagdhütte (hunting lodge; 1540 m) and continue to the Völlaner Joch (1682 m). Next turn left, continuing along trail no. 4, down to Plazzoles to the road. On the road (signposted trail no. 10), turn left and then, heading past the Natz mountain inn (refreshment stop) briefly down the road to your starting point.

Variant: From the Völlaner Jagdhütte take trail no. 3 to the Hoferwiesl (where it meets trail no. 4). This saves you approx. 100 metres of elevation gain.
