It is a lovely walk, on a small path, clinging high above the gorge draining the Unter Grindelwald glacier, giving a grand sense of scale to the huge mountains all around you. The path leads past a private hut at Baregg at 1775m, which is a scenic spot for a break. Admire the great N wall of the Fiescherwand. These summits are relatively easy from the S, but from here they appear daunting.

The path continues traversing around the Banisegg spur at 1808m, then round the spur and then upwards and onwards to the Rots Gufer, 1990m. Here there are series of wires to protect the crossing of the path over several large cascading streams. The ascent continues, passing near to an icefall, over further streams, beneath a buttress to the hut. On this section of the walk you get tantalising glimpses across the E Face of the Finsteraarhorn, far in the distance to the S. The hut is positioned on a spur beneath the Schreckhorn at 2529m. It is still a long way beneath the summit of the mountain it is named after.
