The first uphill is assisted by the Luftseilbahn Rotenflue. The first descent is not steep, has some rock-gardens, meadows and many steps (pay attention to the hikers). The second descent is steep, has narrow sections with rocks and roots. The section north-west of the Grosser Mythen is not advised, given the exposure and steepness - most of it is made of steep stairs. The last trail back to Rickenbach/Schwyz is steeper at the beginning, becoming a faster, wider rock garden in the second part.
