Normally the cabin is reached by ascending Egginerjoch from the Felskinn cableway. The route is easy and short. When the hut is guarded, a winter hiking trail is also prepared on this route (in case of good conditions). The cabin is the starting point for a multitude of prestigious glacier tours. The view from the cabin to Strahlhorn, Rimpfischhorn and Allalinhorn is magnificent.
