Gontenmoos-Winterwanderweg

The mostly flat winter hiking trail leads through the snow-covered high valley of Gonten. The tour through the protected Gontenmoos moorland will captivate you with its unique nature and the numerous "Toobeschopfe" (old peat huts).

From the Jakobsbad (Kronbergbahn) stop, the winter hike initially leads away from the houses. At the valley restaurant, the peaceful section through open meadows begins. Beyond Campingplatz Jakobsbad, the terrain opens out and the trail climbs only gently.

The route avoids any major gradients and reaches its highest point at around 920 m, roughly halfway along near Chuterenegg. Open meadows and pastures also characterise the onward route. The trail crosses gently undulating terrain, with a few short uphill sections, towards Gontenbad; over the five kilometres, the total ascent amounts to only around 80 metres. Houses draw closer only at the beginning and end.

Towards the end, the first houses of Gontenbad come into view. The winter hiking trail leads into the village and to Gontenbad railway station, where the roughly five-kilometre tour ends after just over an hour and a half.
