Homad snowshoe trail
Naturpark Diemtigtal - This demanding tour takes you to the top of the Homad. After the ascent, you will be rewarded with a great panoramic view. You can even see Lake Thun from up here.
The snowshoe hike up the Homad starts from the top station of the Wiriehornbahnen at Nüegg, which you can reach easily by chairlift. From here, the circular trail follows the toboggan run for a short while before the ascent to the Homad begins. Once at the top, it’s well worth taking a long break – if only for the panoramic views – before heading back to the starting point.
