- Description
-
From the starting point at the old Ried schoolhouse (bus stop, car park, WCs), the snowshoeing trail takes you over to the Fankhusbach stream. It is advisable to wait until you have crossed the footbridge before putting on your snowshoes.
The trail now continues across the plain to the stately farmsteads of Unter- and Ober Hüseren and across the meadow to Hinter Mühlebach. A slight incline takes you up to the forest of Hüserenwald and the Hüserenweid. Crossing pastures and the forest clearing, the route leads steeply to the former Cholerli farmstead. The trail continues along a pleasant and more or less level forest path, over to the Choleren farm. Next, the route leads across the pasture towards Pt. 1170 (highest point) and on to the Ober Altösch farm (Beizli alpine eatery). To the north, the Napf stands proud with its striking Berghaus mountain lodge. On the opposite side, to the south, there are magnificent views of the Alps.
The descent begins at this point, gentle at first, then ever steeper from Stoss onwards. Once at its foot you cross the Mülebach stream and follow the edge of the forest back to the Hüseren farmstead. And in no time at all you are back at your starting point at the old schoolhouse in Ried.
