This is a ski tour on sunny, open slopes in the upper part and on a narrow road in the lower part. In between, the itinerary is in a sparse forest. The route is in an important game retreat area and the Schwarzhorn no-hunting area. The described route must absolutely be respected. The summit offers an interesting view to Meiringen, Engelhörner and the high alps in the south. Tschingel and the neighbouring Grindelgrat are popular among snowshoe hikers.
