Shortest and most scenic approach to the Rugghubelhütte via two passes. The direct summer approach from the Brunnihütte through the steep southern slopes of Planggen is not possible in winter. Other winter options include from St. Jakob in Isenthal via Oberalp and the Rot Grätli (WS +, 5½ - 6 hours) or from the Engelberger Fürenalp via Wissberg - Rotbandleiter (S-, 4½ - 5 hours) to the hut.

Route description

Bannalp – Schoneggeli – Rot Grätli
From the top cable car station (Kreuzhütte, 1718 m) head E then SE to the mountain inn at Urnerstafel (1694 m) in the valley bowl of Bannalp. Cross the stream and climb the gentle slopes past Fulenwasser, then bear NE up to Gruenboden and the Bannalp Pass (2249 m). It is best to climb south along the ridge from the pass until at approx. 2320 m, then descend in the direction of P. 2222 via a north-east facing rib. Descend into the trough, then ascend once more, bearing east to skirt around the base or Oberberg's NE spur (2441 m) at ca. 2330 m. Now traverse the east flank southwards to the Rot Grätli (pass).
Variant: Schoneggeli direct
With safe conditions you can also descend directly from the Schoneggeli / Bannalp Pass. Not the steep NE which is prone to triggering in adverse conditions.
Rot Grätli – Rugghubelhütte
From the Rot Grätli descend SW following the line of the summer path until gentler ground leads over to the hut.
