From Hotel Rosenlaui, it goes briefly uphill to the entrance of the glacier gorge. After passing through the gorge (or alternatively bypassing it on the right), just after the exit, a bridge leads gently uphill (shortly before the hiking trail enters the forest) to a kind of small plateau, a beautiful spot for a picnic. Through the forest uphill, you quickly gain altitude, with a view opening up to the torn and impressive Rosenlaui Glacier. At the crossroads P.1683, the white-blue-white marked alpine hiking trail to the Dossen Hut branches off to the right. We continue left on the narrow path. This now leads over smooth and steep rocks, sure-footedness is required here. In a wide right curve, it goes around the Rosenlauistock and continues under the spur of the Ochsen valley to the cozy and nicely situated Engelhorn Hut. From the hut, a path leads down to the Graagistein and then on an alpine road to the Gross-Rychenbach alpine huts. On a road, it goes downhill to the bridge at Gschwantenmad. Before the bridge, we keep left and thus reach Hotel Rosenlaui.
