01/ Overview
The route
The Trachslau cross-country ski track is a circuit for connoisseurs. A footpath leads from Einsiedeln station along the river to the start and finish area. The sunny and mostly flat route leads past farms, the Au convent and the Alp stream.
From the Einsiedeln, Allmeindstrasse stop, it is around 200 m to the start at Grotzenmühle. The trail heads out across the open meadows around Einsiedeln, initially climbing gently. The ten-kilometre circuit involves a total ascent of around 150 metres; a good two and a half hours should be allowed for the route.
After just over four kilometres, the route reaches its highest point near Ruchegg at around 970 m. From there, it gradually descends again, with broad, open expanses dominating the scenery. In the second half, the houses of Einsiedeln draw closer. Around two-thirds of the way along, the trail passes Café Tändli before completing its loop across the meadows. The finish is back at Grotzenmühle; from there, it is around 200 m to the Einsiedeln, Allmeindstrasse stop.
