Ascent
Gabi – On the left bank of the Laggin River, proceed to the second bridge which you cross to reach the Gsteihuis. To the left of the building, climb the steep trail path up to the Feerberg forest clearing. If you start higher up between the gallery and the bridge at about 1260m (parking available), the first ascent via Schilt is more pleasant, and you reach the trail path at approximately 1,340 m. Through the forest clearing, climb the wide ridge, passing a small wayside chapel at 1,560 m. From there, you can ascend the open terrain via Mittluhuis to Alphittä at 1,880 m and onwards to Furggu, or follow the old trail path to the Furggu Pass.
Descent
Gabi – The descent follows the ascent route. Depending on the risk assessment, this can also vary.
