Winterwanderweg Eggberge-Fleschsee

Short cable car ride, big winter hiking experience: This sunny circular tour on the Eggberge above Altdorf offers fantastic panoramic views, pleasant spots to stop and have refreshments and beautifully snow-covered spruce forests. The entire path is groomed and is particularly suitable for families with children.

From the Eggberge station, the winter hike initially leads away from the houses and onto open slopes. The ascent begins early and climbs steadily uphill. Between broad meadows and short sections of forest, the route gains a total of around 440 metres in elevation. Higher up, the forest becomes more extensive.

A little over halfway along, the route reaches its highest point at around 1,860 m, not far from Höch Egg. The summit itself, however, lies off the route. Shortly afterwards, the trail leads to the Hüenderegg viewpoint, which is almost directly on the circuit. The longer return leg then begins: initially through forest, then later downhill across open terrain once again.

Towards the end, the houses of Eggberge reappear. After around seven kilometres and just under three hours, the winter hike finishes back at the Eggberge station.
