From the Wanderstarplatz Rüfiplatz, take the bus in the direction of Zug. From Zug, take an asphalted toll road to the Gasthaus Älpele. A branching forest path leads steeply uphill to the Upper Elm. From here the path becomes narrower and steeper and leads in serpentines up to Laubegg. Over the ridge we continue uphill to the Göppinger hut for a culinary stop.

The wide forest path ends after about 1 km, at the Obere Älpele. From the Upper Älpele there is a short passage where it goes uphill a little steeper. After about one hour you reach the Göppinger hut (2245m).
