- Description
-
This snowshoe trail leads from the valley station of the Rothwald ski lifts via the marked trail into the upper Rothwald forest, up the Jochtwald forest to the panorama restaurant Mäderlicka. From there it descends into the imposing "Durstbachschlucht" gorge to the "Durstbachbrücke" bridge (branch). Then it goes over the groomed Wasmerstrasse/Piste to the mountain restaurant Wasenalp. Behind the restaurant we follow the marked trail over the "Hackber" down to "d'Obru Egge" and from there back to the Hotel Ganterwald and over the pavement of the national road back to the starting point.
The "Extreme Variant": go the hike in the opposite direction. Attention: steep ascent in the gorge!
