The path from the hut the trail starts out level, leading out of the valley until you come to the turn-off to the Schrimmennieder. Following numerous bends, the trail now heads north up to the Schrimmennieder. In clear weather, it’s worth making a detour to the Basslerjoch (one of the finest views along the High Trail; ascent approx. 20 minutes).

From Schrimmennieder, the trail initially slopes gently downwards, then more steeply, zigzagging down towards the upper Platzengrube. After a short climb over rocks, the trail descends into the Kuhgschwetz, followed by a one-hour stretch with great views leading to the Franz Senn Hut.
