01/ Overview

The route

Away from the huge winter destinations Degersheim offers a long and scenically attractive cross-country skiing trail. This also includes a unique view far beyond Lake Constance and the city boundaries.

The trail begins at Hotel Wolfensberg above Degersheim. The nearest public transport stop, Degersheim, Wolfhag, is around 700 metres away. Right from the start, the circuit climbs across open terrain. After around one and a half kilometres, it reaches its highest point at just over 900 m near Züblisnase. From there, broad meadows alternate with shorter stretches of woodland.

With steady ups and downs, the trail continues to Baldenwil before descending to the lowest section of the circuit. At Moos, roughly half of the route, which takes just under five hours in total, has been completed. Via Moosbad, the trail climbs again and emerges into the open, rolling countryside. The final section brings several more gentle counter-climbs before the circuit closes near Wolfensberg. After 17 kilometres, the route finishes back at Hotel Wolfensberg; the Wolfhag stop is also around 700 metres away from here.

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.
