The start panel is located near the grocery store Volg in Ernen. From there, you proceed down a path next to the sports hall in a westerly direction across a meadow from where you have beautiful views of the village and the church. After a few hundred metres on the road, Binntalstrasse, the trail leads through the forest towards Binnegga. The beautiful view from there is a reward for your efforts. The route then continues across a meadow to the wood yard and to the road known as Alpe Frid Strasse. From here, the road climbs steeply in parts towards Egga, Alpe Frid, Rossboden.
