The tour begins at the top of the Leiterlilift with the first descent. What better way to start? The first turns through the Tschätte lead away from the ski area into the tranquillity of nature. The ascent to the tube is only a good 300 m uphill. The view of the Lenker and Lauener mountains from the tube is varied. The Wildstrubel massif is no less impressive from a distance, but the Louwenehore in the north-west seems close enough to touch. The descent through the Lochberg can only be attempted when the avalanche situation is safe, as the steep slopes above the route often slide down. The slopes to be skied are rather flat and not technically demanding. The Wallbach bridge is reached via Aegerten, from where the Wallegg valley station and the village center are not far away.
