Ascent
Gabi - On the left bank of the Laggin, follow the path to the second bridge, which you cross to reach the Gsteihuis. To the left of the building, take the steep bridle path up to the Feerberg forest clearing. If you start further up between the gallery and the bridge at about 1260 m (parking available), the first ascent via Schilt is easier, and you reach the bridle path at around 1,340 m. Through the forest clearing, you climb the broad ridge, passing a small roadside chapel at 1,560 m. From there, you can ascend the open terrain via Mittluhuis to Alphittä at 1,880 m and further up to Furggu or follow the old bridle path to the Furggu pass.
Descent
Gabi - The descent follows the ascent route. Depending on the assessment of the hazards, this may vary.
