Passing the front Fundusalm (not operated), you ride, accompanied by the babbling of the Fundusbach, further to the operated Hintere Fundusalm. The last climb leads via a wide gravel road to Frischmannhütte. Once at the top, enjoy the beautiful panorama with a delicious Tyrolean bread snack. Return to Umhausen by the same route.
