Herrenrüti
The starting point of this cross-country route is the Fürenalp cable car valley station. The physically and technically demanding route is just over 4 kilometers long and includes a steep climb up to Herrenrüti. The route starts off gently with only a slight ascent over the Herrenrütiboden. From there it goes steeply uphill always heading towards the Spannörtern. Once reached on the Herrenrüti, the route leads after a short loop back down to the starting point. Located at the very end of the valley, the route is uniquely scenic. One almost feels transported back in time and apart from one's own breath and the crunching of the snow, nothing can be heard.
