On the south side of the Turbach valley from the point “Mürni” the route heads along the road in a south-westerly direction. From the first intersection of the road, the ski tour continuous in a south west direction trough a forest aisle. It continues uphill over a wide ridge up to the Steinmandli (stone tower) at about 1950 m. The descend takes you back along the uphill track to the Turbach valley.

This ski tour is not marked.
