01/ Overview

The route

This snowshoe trail begins at the Kemmeriboden-Bad country inn and heads along the left bank of the burgeoning Emme through a variety of forests, meadows, and hamlets. It begins with a climb that is rewarded with views of the mountain range of the Alps.

From the Kemmeriboden bus stop, the snowshoe tour begins at Kemmeriboden Bad. The restaurant of the same name lies a short distance off the route. The route initially climbs through open countryside. After just under one kilometre, it reaches its highest point at around 1,040 m, not far from Brünneligrind. The most significant climb therefore comes right at the start; the route then begins to lose elevation again. In total, there are around 190 metres of ascent and 260 metres of descent.

Further on, broad meadows and pastures alternate with stretches of forest. Short counter-climbs keep the snowshoe tour varied despite its overall downward course. After around two hours, the first houses of Bumbach come into view. The final section descends to the route’s lowest point at just over 910 m and ends near the Bumbach, Skilift bus stop.

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.
