The normal approach to the Ringelspitzhütte leads via Kunkelspass, which can also be reached from Tamins. Langwis or to the Kunkelspass itself can be reached by car (permit required) or taxi. The hike leads from Kunkelspass through the mountain forest, later over the alpine areas of the Grossalp. You can also easily ride your bike up to here, and experienced bikers can also reach the hut terrace via the hiking trail.
Route description
From Vättis drive, taxi, or on foot via the Langwis parking (P. 1064) and up to Kunkelspass. By foot sometimes on, sometime off the road.
From Kunkelspass (1358 m), follow the mountain road across meadows, then the path into the forest and along the ridge which leads up to Beim Ahorn (P.1638). Continue NW above the treeline to reach Grossalp (1832 m). (The mountain road also leads to the Grossalp; ¼ hrs longer.) From Grossalp, continue NW towards the Baldachopf: the hut is waiting on the ridge to the south.
From Tamins follow the road to the Kunkelspass. Some hairpin bends can be shortened by taking to the foot path. Also possible with the bike.
