 It is possible to cross the Texelgruppe Nature Park from west to east through the Pfossen Valley. The trail leads across Eisjöchl on to the valley Pfelderertal. Pfossental is the main side valley of Schnalstal (Vinschgau) in direction of the Texel group. There is a narrow, but accessible road into Pfossental from Schnalstal. It forks off the main road right before the locality Karthaus. We drive to Vorderkaser (1,693 m above sea level), the highest settlement in Pfossental. From there, a trail (marking 39) leads up the valley to Mitterkaser. This takes around one hour and a half. We walk on to Rableit Alm and to Eishof. From there, Eisjöchl (2,908 m above sea level) can be reached in two and a half hours (marking 39). From Eisjöchl (2,895 m), a steep trail (marking 8) leads down to Lazinser Kaser (1,860 meters above sea level) and on to Lazins and Pfelders.

The tour continues on an easier trail to the point where the two trails to Milchseescharte (marking 7) and to Grünsee (marking 22) part. We take the trail 22 which leads us to the shore of the lake Langsee . Then we descend to the circular lake Grünsee (marking 6).
