The hike begins in Engeloch. At the start of the route, you walk towards the Simplon Pass on the hiking trail to the bridge over the Chrummbach. Past the first huts in the Chluismatte (refreshment options by prior arrangement), the path slowly starts to ascend. At the fork, keep left and hike a short section through the forest towards Simplon Village. The route continues comfortably without major inclines until you reach Stelli. The path passes Alpine huts before the descent begins in gentle switchbacks down to Egga. Here there is a post bus stop, or the hike can be continued on the Stockalperweg to Simplon Village.
