The cross-country skiing paradise in the holiday and sports region Ybrig makes the experienced cross-country skier's heart beat faster. The 27 km long circular trail of the Studen cross-country center requires stamina and technique. The route of the cross-country paradise is divided into 5 sections. This division allows both beginners and professionals to get their money's worth. The trails, for classic and skating, are surrounded by a dreamlike pre-Alpine landscape.

Studen-Ybrig trail

The first three trail sections lie mostly in the sun and are known as enjoyable and flat routes. They adapt very well to the fitness level of the skiers, as they can be shortened at various points. Besides the sporting challenge, cross-country skiing on the wide plains in the winter wonderland of the holiday and sports region Ybrig is a real nature experience.

Along the trails, three notable ascents await. The first small climb, the Sternenstutz, is located shortly before the village of Unteriberg. The other two ascents are located before Sitysee and in the last kilometer towards Studen.

Studen-Ochsenboden trail

The circular route with trail sections 4 and 5 begins directly in a shady area with the first climb. In the foreground of the skiers rise the Sihltal mountains. While skiing, ascents and descents alternate repeatedly. In the Ochsenboden area, the trail profile changes. The winding route requires good technique from the skiers.

An intensive additional loop awaits at the end of the 18-hole golf course Ybrig. This section is perfect for interval training for ambitious hobby athletes. After the climb follows a descent down to the Sihl. Along the river, it goes back to the starting point in the middle of the village Studen.
