Brief description: Die Region um Sigriswil und dem stattlichen Sigriswiler Rothorn ist im Sommer ein beliebtes Wandergebiet. Die sonnige Lage ob dem Thunersee und das ausgezeichnete Panorama locken auch im Winter Wanderbegeisterte an. Bei wenig Schnee sind kurze Spaziergänge zur Wilerallmi oder Richtung Margel möglich. Wenn genügend Schnee liegt, bieten sich mit dem Dünzenegg Trail oder dem Rüeggers Trail wunderbare signalisierte Schneeschuhtrails an.

Description: Both snowshoe trails start just after the bus stop “Schwanden Säge”. The trails follow the summer hiking trail until you reach the water reservoir. From here you slowly climb through forests and meadows, past the “Zenggisboden” to the “Stampfhut”. At this point a breathtaking view of the Lake of Thun and the Bernese Alps await you.
The moderately difficult “Dünzenegg” trail (red) leads you to the “Undere” and “Obere Matte” on the “Schonegg”. At the edge of the forest on a sunny hill you can enjoy the view of central Switzerland and Emmental. A short distance away you will reach the highest point of the trail, 1460 meters above sea level. Through the powder snow of “Tonimoos” and past the “Lischenhütte”the trail then leads to “Dünzenegg”. Here you follow the snow covered alp road and continue along until you get to the entrance into the forest. The trail then takes a left and continues to “Lischenhutte” from “Rüeggers”. Now it is time to take a moment to enjoy absolute silence. Then follow the trail to the edge of the forest and after entering the forest hike down to “Zenggisboden”. From here you can follow your tracks back the way you came to “Schwanden Säge”.
