It depends on the Tramp version you use.

In Tramp 2.0.*, there is the multi-hop method. You would type
something like (Emacs syntax)

  /multi:ssh:address@hidden:ssh:address@hidden:/path/to.file

Since Tramp 2.1.1, this has been replaced by the concept of default
proxies. The same example, you would configure in your .emacs

  (add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
               '("machine2" "user2" "/ssh:address@hidden:"))

That reads "If I want to go to host "machine2" as "user2", I must pass
"/ssh:address@hidden:".

Accessing your second host is possible then simply by typing (again,
Emacs syntax)

  /ssh:address@hidden:/path/to.file
