Chüematte Trail

A snowshoe trek through unspoilt nature beckons below the Niederhorn, between gnarled Swiss stone pines, open meadows and sunny slopes. The backdrop with views over Lake Thun and the peaks of the Bernese Oberland will amaze you.

The snowshoe tour begins at the Beatenberg Vorsass stop. Shortly afterwards, the route passes close to Bärgrestaurant Vorsass. It initially climbs across open terrain before entering the forest. Gaining height steadily between clearings and wooded slopes, it eventually reaches Alp Oberburgfeld.

Above the alp, the final ascent leads to the highest point at around 1,820 m, not far from Burgfeldstand. This marks just under halfway along the eleven-kilometre route. The longer descent then begins, leading back through forest and across open slopes, passing close to Leimere.

In the final third, the snowshoe tour continues to lose considerable elevation. With around 440 metres of ascent and some 800 metres of descent in total, approximately five hours should be allowed. Towards the end, the houses of Beatenberg come into view. At Restaurant Regina, the route enters the built-up area and ends shortly afterwards directly at the Beatenberg, Waldegg stop.
