The first stage of the Salzburger Sportwelt starts in Wagrain, making it the perfect place to spend the night the day prior. From Wagrain, the first altimeters will be covered by cable car. Find your way to Grafenbergbahn and cover over 850 meters in 11 minutes. Once at the top of the cable car, take off in the south west direction. The path starts with a somewhat strenuous climb to the Kitzstein ("Gabel") and flows into a long descent to Kleinarl. After reaching the top of the Kitzstein, the trail descends along the western flank of the mountain. You head down the footpath into the valley where you will encounter your sleeping place for tonight on the way. The Kleinarl Hütte.
