The hike starts at the Seiser Alm Bahn mountain station in Compatsch and ascends to the Dibaita Puflatschhütte. From there, the trail continues to the Puflatsch mountain station. Alternatively, you can take the Puflatsch Telemix to avoid the first ascent. The Engelsrast, located directly next to the Puflatsch mountain station, offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
