From the middle station Chrindi the route leads via the winter hiking trail to the Hinderstockenalp area. After the junction, follow the summer hiking trail to point 1764, where the path turns right and first climbs steeply, passes below the Cheibehorn through a small snow valley up to the height at the signpost location with the junction towards Cheibehorn. To this magnificent viewpoint, the track leads over the narrow ridge. From the summit, the view extends south to the Bernese Alps and northwest to the Gantrisch range. The same way leads back to Chrindi.
