01/ Overview
The route
A tour from Rothenthurm, surrounded by a sprawling moor landscape, up to Mostelberg Mountain with fantastic views of the nearby peaks and the deep blue Aegeri Lake. The sights from the 374 meter pedestrian suspension bridge high above the Laui ravine come with an adrenalin kick.
From the Rothenthurm, Dorf stop, the hiking trail initially leads through the village and past the parish church of St. Antonius. The houses are soon left behind, giving way to open meadows. The ascent begins gently and gains elevation steadily along the yellow-waymarked trail.
Alternating between pastures and stretches of woodland, the route climbs towards Bannegg. Around 400 metres of elevation are gained over the six kilometres, but the steady gradient leaves time to take in the expansive landscape characterised by open terrain. After about an hour and a half, the highest point is reached near Bannegg at around 1,250 m.
The trail then descends gradually towards Mostelberg. Shortly before the destination, the Ägeriblick barbecue site offers a good place for a break. After around two hours, the hike ends at the Sattel Mostelberg 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: SLF only publishes its snow maps from November 1. Until then we roughly estimate the snow depth at the lowest and the highest point of the route every day from the nearest SLF measuring stations. Check the situation on site.
