After a short taxi ride your either hike along the forestry road or take the short cuts through the forest to the Hirschgrubenalm. In 2005, pupils from the secondary scholl Grossarl set up a resting place on a pond. The Hirschgrubenalm is the first stop for rest and refreshment with delicacies from their own production. After an rest there is much to discover for the children. After this day on the mountain hut, we wish you a good night.

You continue to the Aschlreitalm. You hike up through alpine pastures to the ridge. From here you have a magnificent view to the glacier of the Keeskogel, 2,884 m, the highest mountain and the only glacier in the whole Grossarltal. You enter the area of the Modereggalm. When you descend, you pass the old hut of this mountain hut, but only a few stone walls remind you of past buildings. On the Modereggalm there is a delicious snack with self-made specialties such as bread, butter, cheese, bacon or sausage. Here you stay overnight.

In the "Modereggalm" area, there are cows and many sheep who spend their summer holidays in the "Gstöß" below the Keeskogel. The next day, the descent then takes place on a relatively steep path. In the valley, you pass the Pertillbauer and the Pertill Chapel. You arrive at the inn Talwirt and the Hüttschlager Bauernladenstüberl. You can also visit the valley museum of Grossarltal. Go back by bus or hiking taxi.
