01/ Overview

The route

Recharge your batteries off the ski pistes at Fahrnigenboden on Axalp, a small and friendly winter destination high above Lake Brienz boasting majestic views of the surrounding mountains.

The three-kilometre circular cross-country ski trail starts at the Axalp, Sportbahnen bus stop. Right from the outset, it passes the Axalp StĂŒbli and climbs between the houses of Axalp. After just over half a kilometre, the highest point is reached at around 1'550 m.

The trail then descends across open terrain. The final third includes a few more metres of ascent before the circuit returns to the ski lifts and nearby bus stop after just under an hour.

03/ Conditions

Current conditions

What to know before you set off. Closures and snow are re-checked every day.

  • How we check: Every night we match the route against the official closures and detours from the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO). Any reported closure that touches the route shows up here.

  • How we check: We look up a live public transport connection from your starting point to the stop closest to the trailhead. If it ends further away, the nearest stop may be a cable car or bus that isn't running right now.

  • Cross-country skiing is more fun in the snow! Check local conditions before heading out.

    How we check: Snow depth estimated daily at the lowest and the highest point of the route. Estimates: check the situation on site.
