It takes you through a fairy-tale winter landscape and has a connecting trail to St. Jakob. You ski on the shady side of the valley, beginning at the Hotel Defereggental and head out of the valley, skiing alongside the Schwarzach River to the turn at the Stanz Bridge. This section is ideal for beginners. The trail back to the hotel is more for experienced skiers because of 2 rather steep climbs that are quite demanding and strength-sapping.
