Start your hike from Axalp Kurhaus and take the ascending path towards Chüemad. Once you reach the huts on Chüemad, follow the signs to Axalphorn/Grat. After the military buildings, you reach a junction where you can choose to either go down to Sattel or up to the peak of the Axalphorn. Be aware that you should be sure-footed to go up to the peak! If you went up to the peak, return to the junction and descend via Sattel and then towards Urseli. Between Sattel and Urseli, there is a difficult section where you need to climb down with the help of the fixed safety ropes. Your next stop is the Hinterbergsee before heading back to Axalp Kurhaus.

Hint: If you want a refreshment, take your swimming suit with you for a swim in the Hinterbergsee.
