The route follows with a few exceptions along existing nature trails. The start is at Trübsee. The first ascent to the Joch Pass begins after about one kilometer. Then form Tannalp to Balmeregghorn and from there to the Berner Oberland and Planplatten, through the Halsiberg and from there down to the lowest point on the Brünig Pass followed by the steepest ascent up to Lungern Schönbüel. It then continues through to the final 30 km moorlands and the last ascent to Mount Pilatus.
