Equipment / Equipment rent

Good, sturdy, water- and cold-resistant shoes as well as poles for necessary stability in the snow are recommended.

Safety advices

We ask you to observe the following points on the winter hiking trails:

  • Stay on the marked routes
  • Avoid the cross-country ski trails if possible. If not possible, walk in single file and do not step into the tracks.
  • Allow enough time and monitor the weather
  • Behave quietly to have a chance to see wildlife; observe animals from a respectful distance
  • If you bring your dog, it must be on a leash
  • Regarding waste: take it home with your beautiful memories and leave only your footprints

If outdoor sports enthusiasts respect the space of the wildlife, fewer prohibitions and restrictions are needed and the natural landscape remains open for genuine nature experiences. We ask for careful consideration and thank you!

Signalization

The hike starts at the mountain station of the Rossweid gondola lift. At the beginning of the hike, you share the path with Nordic sports enthusiasts. The route to Salwideli is mostly flat and without major elevation changes. From Salwideli, it continues through the idyllic winter landscape in the valley floor between the Rothorn chain and Schrattenfluh, steadily gently downhill to Kemmeriboden-Bad.
