Description: In pointed zigzag and constant slope, the snowshoe trail leads through the protective mountain forest to Galmihornhütte, the appreciated 360 ° panoramic sundeck of Münster. The view over the surrounding white mountain peaks is breathtakingly beautiful! From here you look not only to the numerous villages of the Rhone valley, but also on the distant worries of everyday life.

Take a map with you or download the complete description of the route with a large-scale map. Use only signposted paths and observe all markings and signs - for your own safety, for the protection of the landscape and in respect for wildlife. Be considerate of other users.

Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Adequate clothing and provisions (food and drink) are very important. If the weather is unstable, it is better to turn around early. Carry additional sun protection with you. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong, especially in winter, even when the sky is overcast.

Plan your tour carefully and in detail. Inform yourself in advance about the current conditions (avalanche danger, cross-country ski runs, winter hiking trails, snow trails and road conditions) and weather conditions. The winter sports report provides you with valuable information from the region.
Tips: In winter you can stay overnight in the Galmihorn hut as a self-caterer.
