Winter hiking trail Wiriehorn
Naturpark Diemtigtal - The starting point of the mountain-valley winter hiking trail is conveniently reached by the chairlift. Along the way, you are presented with an impressive panorama with wide views over the Diemtigtal.
How about a warming coffee or tea at the Berghotel Wiriehorn before starting the hike? The 6-seater chairlift of the Wiriehorn cable car comfortably takes you to the mountain station at Nüegg. During the descent, enjoy the view of surrounding mountain peaks and over the Diemtigtal. Further down you reach Entschwil and thus the impressive high plateau with its magnificent houses in traditional Simmental architectural style, before the return path to the valley station leads you through snowy forests and hamlets.
