From Saanen, the hike leads along the road via Rüebeldorf in the direction of Chalberhöni. Shortly after entering the forest, leave the road and follow the Cholisgrindweg up to Cholis Vorschessli. Here you turn right and walk up to the Cholisgrind at 1'281 m above sea level.

From the top you walk back the same way to Cholis Vorschessli. From this point, the trail zigzags northwards down the forest to Saanen.
