Route description

The starting point is the top station of the Weglosen–Seebli cable car. The path climbs in three gentle stages and leads through the Loch, crossing the Weglosenbach at kilometre 4.4 on the way.

Between kilometres 4.1 and 5.0 three huts follow one another: the Chöplishütte, the Druesberghütte and the Sattlerhütte. At kilometre 5.3 the path passes the Chäserenstöckli, and at kilometre 7.0 the highest point is reached at 1,750 metres.

The long descent leads down over the Karrenboden and reaches Unteriberg at kilometre 12.3, where the route crosses the Minster. The hike ends at 931 metres; the elevation range is 834 metres.

The steepest passage is 19 per cent, and some sections call for a sure step. Because of the altitude the tour can be walked from July to October. It crosses the municipal boundary from Oberiberg into Iberg.
