From Warth follow the road in the direction of Lech. In the center of Lech turn right to Zug. From Zug through the valley in the direction of Formarinsee. Continue straight on in the wooded area (on the left is the Spullersee) until you reach the Formarin Alpe. From there to the Formarinsee, circle it halfway until you reach the Freiburger Hütte. From the hut, you now take a steep goods road to the Rauher Staffel alpine pasture and continue on a single trail to Dalaas. This section of the trail is very demanding, only below 1200m you get back on the goods road down to Dalaas. To the right of the Kristbergsaal starts the next ascent to the Kristbergsattel. From the Kristbergsattel you descend a short distance before continuing eastwards towards Wildried and Wasserstubental. In Wasserstubental downhill towards Gasthof Fellimännle. From here through the rear Silbertal, past the Untere Gafluna Alpe and the Obere Felle Alpe to the Winterjöchle. Here you have to push/carry the bike over the Winterjöchle. In Schönverwalltal, the Transalp route takes you up to the Heilbronner Hütte. From here downhill to Kops and over the Zeinisjoch down to Galtür.
