The entire tour runs above the tree line, leads largely along wide ridges and has the Greim, a high, attractive summit, as its destination. On larger stones you can see path markings that show the respective junctions. During the ascent, the Greimrinne is walked extensively in the upper part. The descent takes place on the west side via the Sandkogel. A yellow sign at the summit shows the direction. From the Sandkogel you descend directly to the left to the Greimrinne. The descent can then be climbed in two ways: crossing the gully halfway up and following the ski tracks to the Greimhütte or going up the gully to the end and then following the ski tracks to the Greimhütte.
