After the ascent with the Wispile gondola, the trail starts on the left side of the mountain restaurant and then runs along the ridge of the Wispile to the "Chrinetritt". There the hiking trail splits, and the route follows the path leading right towards Gsteig. After this short descent to the alpine hut "Chrine", a short climb follows back to the "Chrine Pass". There you follow the hiking trail towards Lauenen and on a side road and hiking trail back to Gstaad and through the promenade. Leaving Gstaad, follow bike route no. 9 up to Schönried to the Horneggli valley station. After the ascent with the Horneggli chairlift, the route leads right beside the mountain station on the hiking trail towards Schönried. At the second junction, the route continues left and leads over Gruben and Oberbort back to Gstaad.

The route mainly leads over single trails and paved roads.
