Gadmen-Loipe

A winter wonderland to avoid crowds: On the way to the Susten Pass, the village of Gadmen tempts visitors with its guaranteed snow cover and a quiet cross-country skiing trail that’s never short of sunshine. It follows the Gadmen river and offers panoramic views of Mount Titlis and the Fünffingerstöck.

From the Gadmen, Post bus stop, the nine-kilometre trail initially descends gently through the valley. Open meadows characterise the first section, interspersed with wooded slopes that draw closer to the track. After around three kilometres, the houses of Fuhren are reached, along with the lowest point of the circuit at just over 1'130 m.

The route now turns uphill again. The longer ascent leads through open terrain and short stretches of woodland to the highest point at around 1'230 m, not far from Wanghoren. The circuit involves a total ascent of about 200 metres. The trail then descends towards Obermad, where isolated houses once again appear on the valley floor. The final kilometres, with a few short counter-climbs, lead back to Gadmen. After just over two and a half hours, the circuit ends near the Gadmen, Post bus stop.
