SAUTENS -> Haderlehn -> Knappensteig -> Bachfalle -> Karalm -> Bloße -> SAUTENS

The starting point of this route is the district of Haderlehn above Sautens. From here, you walk moderately uphill through the forest via the Knappensteig, past the Opferstein and the cold holes to the forest road junction. At the turning area, continue up the steep forest path, cross the Bachfalle, and continue on to the Karalm at 2,122 m (not managed). The fountain at the hut is the last water source. From there, continue to the summit of the Bloße at 2,536 m. A wonderful view of the towns of Sautens, Oetz with Hochoetz, the middle Inn Valley, and Imst rewards the arduous ascent. The return follows the same path to the starting point – not a circular hike.
