Follow the path towards Riedalpji until you meet the paved Rosswald road. Above the road, follow the hiking trail through the Saflischwald back towards Rosswald. If you want to hike a bit further, you can climb the zigzag path up to the summer piste. The hiking trail (and this additional loop) is well signposted.
