Naturpark Gantrisch -

The Gantrisch Panoramatrail is a snowshoe tour around the Selibühl panoramic summit. It impresses with a fantastic 360° panoramic view from the summit and plenty of nature.

The classic winter route in the wooded hills of the Gurnigel, high above the Mittelland, starts opposite the Stierenhütte. First you climb up to the ridge path next to the snow-covered car park platform. The panorama of the striking Gantrisch mountains presents itself for the first time. Deeply snow-covered fir trees line the path along the ridge, which you leave shortly to the right into the forest. The path leads gently downhill through the steep, shady flank of the Selibüel. The landscape is characterised by dense woodland and stands of lyme pine. The trail leads through a wildlife sanctuary and hikers are asked to follow the markings. The trail soon climbs and reaches the saddle at Gauchit. From time to time, the view between the fir trees to the right towards the Mittelland and the Jura becomes clear. Now the trail leads around the south side of the Selibüel, keeping to the top. Lined up on our right are the peaks of the Gantrischberge from Ochse to Nünenen. After almost circling the Selibüel, we now head up the southern slope from Alp Selibüel to the summit. This detour is definitely worthwhile. At the top of the Selibüel summit, there are benches to rest on and a magnificent 360° panoramic view of the snow-covered Jura and the snow-covered Alpine chain. On a clear day, you can see Lake Thun and the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The Nünenenfluh and the Gantrisch also form an impressive backdrop. Towards the north, in good weather, the view extends as far as the Chassera
