01/ Overview

The route

Starting in the Luthern Bad place of pilgrimage, the trail follows the Luthern stream through the delightful hills of the Napf region. Alp Badegg offers pleasant views of the Luther valley. A worthwhile place to pause is the Badbrünnli 'place of power' with its mystical arm and foot baths.

The snowshoe circuit begins in the village of Luthern Bad, directly by the Luthern Bad, Dreilindenplatz bus stop. The Maria-Heilbronn pilgrimage church and Gasthaus Hirschen stand close to the starting point. The ascent begins between the houses and soon leads out onto open slopes. The route steadily gains height across meadows and through forest; after the first kilometre, the Luthern stream becomes a constant companion.

Just over halfway along, the highest point is reached at around 1,110 m. The circuit then turns downhill and follows the stream through sections of forest, interspersed with open areas. The gradient eases towards the end. The Badbrünnli chapel lies a little off the route, before the first houses of Luthern Bad come into view. The stream leads almost all the way back to the village; at Dreilindenplatz, the snowshoe hike of just over two hours ends back at the 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.
