From the Grimselpasshöhe we drive along the six-kilometre-long private panoramic road to the car park below the Berghaus Oberaar. The road will be open from July, it can only be driven in one direction: from the Grimsel Pass to the Berghaus Oberaar on the hour, from the Berghaus Oberaar to the Grimsel Pass on the half hour. The parking lot is chargeable.
Then it is about 2.5 hours hiking time on an easy and good mountain path to the glacier tongue and back to the dam wall.
