This tour is usually started from Rossberg due to the snow, in good winters from Heidenweidli near Oberwil. Starting from the bottom, you first have to climb a good 300 m up the Rossberg. From here, the tour leads along forests and fields in the direction of Stutz and on to the 1924 m high Puntel. The descent can be made via Rite to Schönebode and then back along the ascent route down to the Simme.

Classification according to the SAC difficulty scale for ski tours: WS+
