The path begins at Restaurant Mattmark and leads over the Distelalp and the historic pass route towards Monte Moro. After the first two larger ascents, the valley opens into the so-called "Tälliboden," shaped by the stream and the rough basin. At the crossroads in the front part of the Tälliboden, the path turns left and follows the rock face downstream. This rock passage rounds the Galmenhorn and leads the hiker into the wild romantic Ofental. This valley seems barely touched by human hands. Apart from the wind and the babbling mountain stream, you hear only yourself. Nothing else but alpine silence.
After crossing the stream, you go over the alpine mountain meadows downstream. With a view of the Mattmark lake, the path zigzags down the slope of the Stellihorn. Finally, the dam crest is crossed. Information panels tell the history of the Mattmark.

Use only marked hiking trails and follow all signs and instructions – for your own safety, to protect livestock, and to avoid disturbing the peace of wildlife.
Be considerate towards other trail users and the landscape. Take your waste and that of others with you.
Carry sun protection. UV rays can be very strong at high altitude, even on cloudy days.
Plan your hike carefully: consider the fitness required of all participants, weather forecasts, and seasonal conditions.
Weather conditions can change very quickly and without warning in the mountains. Appropriate clothing and sufficient supplies (food and drink) are very important. Turn back early in bad weather.
Do not go on glaciers without a mountain guide.
Observe warning signs indicating dangers.
Inform third parties about your route and, if possible, never go alone.
Pay attention to the opening hours of mountain lifts.
