- Description
-
This snowshoe trail leads from the Hotel Ganterwald along the marked trail to the "Obru Egge". From here it leads uphill via Hackber up to the mountain guesthouse Wasenalp. Then you hike along the prepared Wasmerstrasse (piste) down into the "Obru Rothwald" and further into the "Undru Rothwald" to the valley station Skilifte Rothwald. Finally, you return to the starting point via the pavement of the national road.
The route from the post bus stop Rothwald Post (near the valley station of the ski lift) to the mountain restaurant Wasenalp is very popular as a winter hike without snowshoes. This route is pisted-during the skiing season and is open for multiple use. Time requirement about 45 minutes.
