Schneeschuhtrail Ober Altösch

This varied snowshoe tour starts in Trub in the Emmental valley. It leads through snow-covered forests and pastures in the hilly terrain of the Napf region. The winter scenery and the far-reaching views over the Emmental hilltops make for an unforgettable experience.

The snowshoe hike begins almost immediately from the Trub, Ried bus stop. Beyond the few houses of Sandgrabe, the route climbs out of the valley. Open meadows and pastures initially dominate the landscape, interspersed with longer sections through the forest. The ascent is spread evenly over the first half of the roughly eight-kilometre circuit.

Near Altegrat, around the halfway point, the route reaches its highest point at approximately 1,150 m. By this stage, most of the total ascent of around 420 metres has been completed. The route then descends again, alternating between open terrain and forest. Towards the end, it turns back towards the starting point. After just over four hours, the circuit ends at Trub, Ried; the bus stop of the same name is just over 100 m from the finishing point.
