From the Sunnbüel mountain station, the marked trail leads down away from the winter hiking trail to Spittelmatte (1853 m), past an alpine hut and back to the starting point.

From the Sunnbüel mountain station, the trail runs southwards along the foot of the Üschinen ridge. In good weather, there is a wonderful view of the adjacent 3000-meter peaks Altels and Rinderhorn. In the Spittelmatte area, a short descent leads to an alpine hut inviting you to linger. The return route across the high plateau passes the cross-country ski trail and the winter hiking trail, which via Schwarrenbach leads to the Gemmipass. Past the ski lift, you return to the starting point at the Sunnbüel cable car.
