From the mountain station of the Rosswald gondola lift (1819 m above sea level), the path leads up to the Maria zum Guten Rat chapel. Follow the hiking trail markings and hike up the side of the Folluhorn on the zigzag path to the summit. Once at the top, it is also worth taking the detour to the Fülhorn. You should definitely be free from giddiness and sure-footed for this route.
Below the Fülhorn, the trail descends in several hairpin bends until it joins the Alpenpässeweg and leads leisurely towards Fleschboden.
Alternative from Folluhorn:
If you would like to return from Folluhorn, hike cross-country in the direction of the Stafel ski lift, down the Stafel slope to the artificial snowmaking lake. Attention: swimming is prohibited. You hike on towards Fleschboden. Here you can stop off at the restaurant with panoramic terrace.
The trail continues downhill to the Rosswald mountain station.
