Naturpark Diemtigtal - The tour takes you from the Wiriehorn mountain station to Tubefärich: an ideal tour to leave everyday life far behind and enjoy nature to the full.

The starting point of the snowshoe tour, the Wiriehorn mountain station, is easily reached with the 6-seater chairlift of the Wiriehorn cable car. The trail is marked from here, but you'll have to make your own tracks with your snowshoes. The cool winter air and the deep snow-covered alpine meadows and forests convey inner peace and distance from hectic everyday life. During the entire ascent you have a fantastic view of the Wiriehorn, the Lower Simmental, the Stockhorn and the Niesen chain.

Signalization

Follow the snowshoe trail from the Wiriehorn mountain station (Nüegg), climbing gently towards Alp Schwarzenberg. The trail leads over the ridge with a medium gradient to Tubefärich. During the entire ascent you have fantastic views of the surrounding mountain peaks before you reach the turning point of your hike. The descent route follows the edge of the forest to the "Oberi Heitere" level and on to the saddle above the Nüegg mountain station. A short descent and you reach the mountain station and the Wiriehorn mountain hotel. The trail is signposted with pink direction signs and a snowshoe symbol.

Safety advices

The hiking time depends on the amount of snow and the nature of the route as well as your physical condition. On site you will find moderately steep terrain with occasionally steeper passages in the ascent and descent. A certain level of surefootedness is required for the tour.
