 From Brand a 2½hr route heading southwest through the Zalimtal leads to the Oberzalim Hut at 1889m near the head of the valley beneath the Schesaplana.

 An extension of the Oberzalim Hut walk takes the demanding Leibertsteig route up to the Mannheimer Hut, the highest in the Rätikon Alps at 2679m; while another trail heads roughly westward, crosses the Spusagangscharte (2237m), descends to Nenzinger Himmel (accommodation) in the Gamperdonatal, and returns to Brand via the 2028m Amatschonjoch, for a rewarding two-day trek.

 Several walks have already been described from the Douglass Hut, but instead of either following the Rätikon Höhenweg Nord, or descending to Brand at the end of your visit, an alternative way out follows the Saulajochsteig north of the Lünersee, crosses the Saulajoch (2065m), descends to the Heinrich-Hueter Hut, then wanders down the length of the Rellstal to Vandans in the Montafon valley – a walk of about 4hrs.

 A Wanderbus operates a daily service in summer from Vandans through the Rellstal to Alpengasthof Rellstal at 1490m. This gives access to a number of trails that explore the mountains to south, east and west, among them the Lünerweg leading to the Douglass Hut via the Lünerkrinne, and a straightforward route continuing south to the Obere Zaluandialpe, up to the Schweizertor, then east across the Öfapass to the Lindauer Hut.
