From the car park you follow the wide winter hiking trail towards Hotel Falknerhof until you reach Grastalweg trail which takes you into Horlachtal side valley to the left. Follow Grastalweg until you get to the Grastalsee branch-off (shortcut). Then you climb on a steeply rising, groomed ski mountaineering route to Grastal in the direction of lake Grastal (signposted). If you prefer a less steep ascent you can continue on the regular trail to Grastalfeld meadow and ascend on the forest trail into Grastal to the right. The shortcut leads you back to a wide trail after about 20 minutes walking - continuing up to the hunting lodge. Then you descend back to Grastalfeld on the normal forest trail and return to Niederthai.
