This hike through a secluded, wild, romantic high valley is the ideal tour for seasoned climbers with stamina. At the start of the hike, there is a short but steep ascent to the Gummihütte that must be tackled. After a short up and down, the path leads past the Schutzhütte to the north and climbs up to the ridge. The path leading to the Gstaad trail crosses the ridge and branches off to the east towards Hiendertellti. Soon you will pass Lake Hagel, which in some cases is covered with snow until the late summer. Along the Hiendertellti with Lake Häxen, it leads over the scree to Wart with the Blue Gletscherli. The trail continues from there to Wischbäch - Oberläger, back to the ridge and along it to the Grosse Scheidegg.
