The tour begins in the centre of Samnaun-Compatsch and leads steadily uphill through the mountain forest on the culture trail into the Zanders valley. After crossing the Malfragbach stream and thus the national border, the trail goes up through the Zanderswiesen meadows to the Fliesseralpe alp. After a stop for refreshments, the trail continues directly under the alp to the Zandersbach stream. Past a beautiful playground with a fireplace, the trail continues after an easy descent to Spiss (1678 m above sea level), the highest municipality in Austria. At the church in Spiss, turn into the L348 Spisser Strasse, which leads down to the customs in Spissermühle. For about 1.5 km the tour follows the main road back to Samnaun-Compatsch.
