The Hundsrügg, with its 2047 m high summit above the Sparenmoos high plateau, offers a breathtaking view of 427 peaks and is known for its rich floral display. The 20.44 km long trail running route leads along the Hundsrügg and rewards the effort with this magnificent panorama, including the impressive Mont Blanc.

The trail, marked with red signs and white lettering, gently passes through the cultural landscape created by alpine farmers over centuries. The starting point is the parking lot at Berghaus Sparenmoos. 

The trail offers a good mix of flowing sections and technical passages, with 95 percent of the trail being flowing and 5 percent technically demanding. About 73 percent of the route runs on narrow paths, only 3.5 percent on asphalt.
