The hike to the Rubihorn is well signposted and marked, but requires surefootedness and a head for heights, especially from Gaisalpsee, where the trail becomes increasingly steep and exposed in places. Some sections are secured with wire ropes.

A hike alone to the lake is worthwhile, because you can take a nice break at the hut by the lake or take a swimming break there in summer.
