This sunny panoramic snowshoe hike offers a dreamlike setting for athletic activities. It features a steady ascent of more than 400 m in altitude followed by a somewhat steeper descent. The reward for your efforts is sublime views of two valleys and the chance to experience untouched nature with secluded forests and dazzling snowfields.
The hike begins with a gentle ascent between chalets and then through woods. Once you pass the tree line, there is a wonderful view over the Rhone valley and the snow-covered summits of the Binn valley. We continue over open terrain to the Fleschen mountain restaurant with its sun terrace.
The second half of the hike leads downhill over south-west-facing slopes with a view of Fieschertal. This section of the trail offers a magnificent view over the valley and the glittering peaks of the “Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch” UNESCO World Heritage Site, which protects the most glaciated region in the Alps.
