The ski route starts in Lauenen, the charming mountain village with its preserved wooden houses and the beautiful 16th-century church. From there, the route leads eastwards along the Mülibach to the Rütschli. Then follows a steady ascent in a southeast direction via Uf der Flue and Schönebode up to just before the Alp Unders Blatti. From there, it goes north of the two Blatti alp pastures to the Fürflue and continues over the demanding Blatti ridge to the summit of the Lauener Rothorn.

The descent follows the ascent track or via Gubihubel, Gschwend, Sulz, and Inneri Tüffi back to Lauenen.
