01/ Overview

The route

Bridges and views are the stars of this snowshoe trail. Along the way, hikers can take off their snowshoes and enjoy a special experience: the foot suspension bridge in Sattel-Hochstuckli.

The snowshoe tour begins in Biberegg, somewhat removed from public transport; the nearest stop, Rothenthurm, Biberegg, is around 400 m away. The ten-kilometre circuit starts at Restaurant Beaver Creek. It initially leads away from the houses across open terrain, after which exposed slopes and sections of woodland alternate.

As the route gains altitude, the ascent becomes steeper. After a little over two hours, it approaches Bannegg and shortly afterwards reaches its highest point at just under 1,500 m. The summit itself lies a short distance off the route. In this upper section, broad open expanses shape the circuit, while the woodland repeatedly provides a marked contrast. The SAC Clubhaus Bärenfang lies away from the route.

The route now descends again, partly through woodland and partly across open slopes. It passes directly by the Ägeriblick fire pit. Continuing to lose altitude, it eventually reaches the first houses of Biberegg. After a little over five hours, the snowshoe tour ends back at the starting point.

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.

  • Snowshoeing 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.
