From the car park a small road leads to the Fluonalp huts and further eastwards to Rieben. From here you ascend to the large, solitary alpine hut Schwantelen. Soon the magnificent viewpoint Sädel is reached via the alpine path. It offers a view onto Lake Lungern, Lake Sarnen and Lake Alpnach as the Obwalden arm of Lake Lucerne. The entire Sarneraa Valley from Brünig to Lopper lies at your feet.
From here the hike continues westwards along an old border wall between Giswil and Lungern to Dundelegg. This in turn offers a wonderful view of the Bernese Alps and the Hasli Valley. The mountain trail then turns northwards over alpine pastures back to the starting point.
