Pass the GasthofWiesenhof (no refreshment stop)to the Gleierscher Höhe and a short stretch downhill to cross the young Isar . Here begins the partly steep ascent to the Möslalm, whereby short breathers can be taken again and again in the flat sections before there is the opportunity to stop for a drink at the Möslalm . Now the ride continues towards the Pfeishütte at 1,922 metres. Over rough gravel and becoming steeper and steeper, you reach a bikeparking area. From here it is another 300 metres to the hut.
