01/ Overview

The route

Winter hike starting at the idyllic alpine settlement of Steg. The natural sceneries all around can best be enjoyed on the Schwemmiweg. The trail leads past the reservoir and through the forest to Alp SĂĽcka.

The signposted winter hiking trail begins at Steg, Tunnel, far from public transport; the nearest stop, Weite, Plattis, is almost 6 km away. Across open terrain, the circuit climbs for just over one kilometre to its highest point, situated at around 1,400 m near Mittlerspitz.

The route then descends again, entering the forest in places. Over a total distance of 4 km, it involves around 130 metres of elevation gain. After just over an hour, the circuit ends back at Steg, Tunnel, likewise with no public transport connection nearby.

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.

  • Winter hiking 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.
