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

After this descent, there is a short climb back up to the "Chrine Pass". From there, follow the hiking trail towards Lauenen. The path leads through beautiful fir forests until it joins the alpine access road. After about 250 meters on the alpine road, the route follows the hiking trail which starts at the mountain station of the Lauenen ski lift. Across mountain meadows, follow the path until you reach the paved road. There, turn right to return to the village Lauenen. Alternatively, you can turn left here to follow the route back to Gstaad.
