Ascent
From the Simplon Hospice (1,997 m), head west across the plain near the hamlet of Hopsche (2,038 m) and into the valley between Staffelgrat and Tochuhorn. From here, there are two options: Normally, you ascend northwest to Usseri Nanzlicke (2,602 m) and over the often snow-covered, broad south ridge to the south summit (2,729 m) of Spitzhorli. Second option: Via Rossusee - From the valley between Straffelgrat and Tochuhorn, you can also ascend northwards via Undre Rossusee to Obre Rossusee (2573 m). From here, head west into the gap between Spitzhorli-Süd and the main summit and up to one of the two summits.
Descent
Same as ascent.
To Bielti – From the summit, the steep slope leads to the terrace of the Bistinen. From here, the trail leads from the exit of the Bistinen Valley along the slope to the Bielti holiday cabins. When there is little to moderate snow, the trail of a mule track is visible. The trail then leads from Bielti back up to the Simplon Pass. The route leads through dangerous steep slopes in the lower section!
