Park your car at N46 54.840 E8 50.790 and take the gondola up to Glattalp. For information on the gondola service (in german)

Then it's pretty much a straight hike to the peak. About 2/3 of the distance to the peak the trail begins to ascend steeply over scree.
A small "technical" climb up a small ledge assisted by fixed wire ropes should not present the intermediate mountain hiker with any problem.
