The so-called donkey trail leads steeply but thanks to a shady and airy vegetation usually pleasantly upwards.
Over this increase, the Rappenseehütte was supplied in earlier times with provisions. Serving today's mostly helicopters or material ropeways was done in the old days certainly something more careful but equally reliable by donkeys or mules.
The middle section of the ascent leads sunny over the alpine areas of the Rappenalpe. Here, the paths are at times somewhat wider due to the alpine farming.
The donkey way carries this name, because earlier the supplies for the somewhat higher situated pasture with donkeys were carried there. The donkeys walked the path almost by themselves to the pasture.

For mountain lovers who want to avoid the abandoned passages, the donkey trail offers a suitable and promising hut rise to the refuge.
