After the ascent with the cable car Wispile the trail starts on the left side of the mountain restaurant and leads from there on the right side of the ski lift along the very wide hiking trail. Then you follow the hiking trail over the ridge of the Wispile to the "Chrinetritt". There the hiking trail splits up, the route follows the path leading to the right towards Gsteig. From here the trail becomes technically more demanding and steeper to the " Chrine ".

After this descent there is a short climb back to the "Chrine-Pass". From there you follow the hiking trail towards Lauenen. Here the path leads through beautiful fir forests until it joins the alpine road. After about 250 meters on the alpine road the route follows the hiking trail which starts at the top station of the ski lift Lauenen. Over mountain meadows you follow the path to the asphalt road. There you turn right to return to the village of Lauenen. Alternatively you can follow the route back to Gstaad by turning left.
