The hike begins on the Simplon Pass. Whether you start at Kulm, Hospiz or Restaurant Monte Leone, it doesn't matter. Already from a distance you can see the wide path in a northwesterly direction, which crosses the mountain flank to the Bistinenpass in an even gradient. On the Bistina, take the signposted path towards Visperterminen. In the upper Fülmoos, after having crossed the "Gamsa", you stay on the path towards the Gebidumpass. Continue above Visperterminen to Gspon.
