We cross the bridge at Bildungszentrum Gerlos and follow the road to the left to the entrance of the Schönachtal Valley. This is where the path begins its gentle rise. After a short break at the snackstation Jörgleralm we reach the Stinkmoosalm, here you have a wonderful view of the end of the valley with the Schönachkees Glacier (3,000 m), you can reach the snack-bar at Lackenalm pasture (1,400 m) in about 1 hour.
