The approach from the Oberisshütte initially leads flat over a gravel path through alpine meadows on the right side of the valley. There, the summer trail and the unmaintained winter trail diverge. At the fork, follow the signpost to the right and ascend the mountain via many switchbacks. After about an hour, you reach a plateau where the Alpein Alm is located. Here, you see the hut for the first time.
Past the Alpein Alm, the path now follows along the Alpeiner Bach to the hut.
