A path g in the plane $R^2$ is the sequence of the points $(t_0, t_1, \ldots, t_n)$, with coordinates in $Z^2$. The point $t_0$ is the starting point and the point $t_n$ is the arriving point. An elementary step of g is a couple $(t_i, t_{i+1}), 0 \leq i \leq n - 1$. We denote the length of the path g by $\mid$g$\mid$ = n.

In this paper we provide three results involving large Schr$\ddot{o}$der paths. First, we enumerate the number of large Schr$\ddot{o}$der paths by type. Second, we prove that these numbers are the coefficients of a certain symmetric function defined on the staircase skew shape when expanded in elementary symmetric functions. Finally we define a symmetric function on a Fuss path associated with its low valleys and prove that when expanded in elementary symmetric functions the indices are running over the types of all Schr$\ddot{o}$der paths. These results extend their counterparts of Kreweras and Armstrong-Eu on Dyck paths respectively.
