Experience the fascination of snowshoeing in the beautiful winter world at Klewenalp, high above Lake Lucerne.
This varied snowshoe hike takes you from the Klewenalp mountain station down to Wangiboden (valley station of the Klewenstock chairlift). From there, the path leads to the Brämegg viewpoint, which offers you a breathtaking 360-degree view of the surrounding Central Swiss mountain world and the deep blue Lake Lucerne. The spot offers the ideal opportunity for a short break before the final ascent to the Röthen Nature Friends House (opening hours at www.klewenalp.ch). The last section back to the Klewenalp mountain station can be comfortably walked on the winter hiking trail.
The current operating times of the Beckenried-Klewenalp cable car can be found at www.klewenalp.ch/
