Halfway to Obere Allme, the hiking route branches right towards First. The trail leads for about 2 hours through the sheep pastures of the "Steintal" on open fields up to the ridge and the soon summit of First. The route continues along the ridge and through flower meadows towards Stand and to Elsigenalp for the aerial cableway. Experienced alpine hikers are challenged by the crossing of the airy Allme ridge to Stand.
