Fürstein Langis

From the Langis parking lot, the road to Glaubenberg Pass, which is closed to traffic in winter, serves as an ideal warm-up stretch. Just past the Passhöchi Beizli begins the challenging snowshoe tour, ascending vigorously on loosened forest on either the left or right side of the Rotbach stream to Alp Rick, and from there up the steep summit slope to the cross on the Rickhubel. In a wide arc, the trail then runs along a plateau to the northeast ridge of the Fürstein, which is reached over a short steep flank. The panoramic view of the Alpine range and all the way to the Jura is fantastic. After a short ridge descent southward, a snow-covered little valley leads to Ober Sewen to the chapel, then past the Sewenseeli lake to the saddle between Sewenegg and Trogenegg. Varied terrain on gentle slopes and through loose pine forest takes you back over Schnabel to Langis.

Shortened variant without the Fürstein

If you don’t want to climb all the way up to the Fürstein, you can branch off left on the plateau and descend directly to Ober Sewen to the chapel.
