01/ Overview
The route
Cross-country skiing on the Bernese Oberland’s natural sun terrace. Fresh mountain air at 1300 metres, mostly above the fog line and with views of the famous Bernese peak trio make this a highly therapeutic activity. Enjoy a winter wonderland around the mountain village of Beatenberg.
From the Ramsern bus stop in Beatenberg, it is around 250 m to the start in Waldegg. The eleven-kilometre trail initially leads out of the residential area and climbs steadily between woodland and open meadows. After a good four kilometres, it reaches its highest point at Uf Vorsess, at around 1,380 m.
A little later, the circuit passes directly by the Bodealp fire pit. Longer wooded sections then alternate with open terrain as the trail sweeps in a broad arc back towards Beatenberg. The circuit involves around 280 metres of ascent in total and takes a good three hours. Towards the end, the first houses of Waldegg come back into view. The finish is again in Waldegg, around 250 m from the Ramsern bus stop in Beatenberg.
