From the valley road in the Gsiesertal Valley – St. Martin (1276 m) follow trail marker no. 36 westwards up to the Karbacher Hof (1440 m, refreshments available; also accessible by car). From there, continue on trail no. 42 into the Karbach Valley and further to the Ochsenfeldalm (2014 m). North-westwards, the trail continues across alpine slopes up to the Grüblscharte (2394 m); there turn sharply right and follow the trail markers no. 9 east-northeastwards across extensive alpine pastures to the Ochsenfelder Seen (2555 m).

Descent: either along the ascent route or, to shorten the upper section by about half an hour, walk down the grassy slopes, partly on shepherds’ paths, directly to the Ochsenfeldalm. From there, follow trail no. 42, passing the Schäfer Alm (1616 m), back to the starting point.
