From Kandersteg, you take the cable car up to the starting point of the hike. After the descent to the Spittelmatte, you go up to the Schwarenbach mountain hotel. The hike continues towards Daubensee and finally to the Gemmi Pass at an altitude of 2,322 m. Incidentally, a few hundred years ago, the historical trail was an important transport connection between the cantons of Bern and Valais.
