From Zug via the Stierlochjoch: signed, good path, steep to begin with, later gentler. From Stierlochjoch down to the hut. Bathed in sunshine in the morning, shady in the evening, 1½ to 2 hours, from Lech to Zug on an easy route another 30 minutes.
From Klösterle / Langen via the Spuller See: ideal for railway travellers, signed, both paths merged about 45 minutes. The path from Klösterle is steeper, but is shaded in the morning. 2 to 2½ hours.
From Spullersee: drive to the northern dam of the Spullersee (drive ca. 30 minutes on a toll road, sometimes closed). From there on foot in ca. 45 minutes to the hut.
