From Vent to the Ochsenkopf, halfway up turn left into the Niedertal. On a wide path past the newly built chapel and the shepherd's hut on a moderately ascending path to the hut. From there, first flat towards Niederjoch, after about 30 minutes turn right up onto the lateral moraine of the Niederjochferner and the last 30 minutes walk across this crevasse-free to the hut.
