We did Wasserauen-Seealpsee-Ebenalp hike in about 5 hours. It’s easy in general just going down maybe freaky because of the slippery trail. The gondola down would be an option or good shoes and sticks.

From Jakobsad follow the signs to Gonten. In Gonten you turn right and from there follow the path up to Kornberg. Most people walk this hike the opposite way. On a good day you can see all the way to Germany.
