Bei der Abzweigung links hinauf Richtung Großbichler/Gernschwaiger finden wir den ersten Wegweiser zum Schüttkogel. Nach dem Gehöft Gernschwaiger folgen wir der Forststraße bis zur Horninger Alm. In einer Schleife und einem kurzen Steilstück steigen wir hinauf zum Grießkegerl. Weiter geht es über einen schönen Bergrücken auf den Gipfel dieses Aussichtsberges hinauf. Vom Gipfel aus können wir bei guten Sichtverhältnissen einen herrlichen Blick auf die umliegenden Gipfel in den Rottenmanner und Wölzer Tauern, das Tote Gebirge, die Haller Mauern sowie den markanten Grimming im Ennstal genießen.
