This route usually starts from Rossberg due to snow conditions, or in good winters from Heidenweidli near Oberwil. Starting from below, the approximately 300 vertical meters to Rossberg must first be mastered. From here, the route leads along forests and fields in the direction of Stutz and further up to the 1924 m high Puntel. The descent can be made via Rite into the Schönebode and further back on the ascent route down to the Simme.
