The cross-country ski trail leads through an impressive high valley past the heritage-protected Hospental and to the smallest village in Switzerland.

The starting point is the train station in Hospental, where parking spaces for winter sports enthusiasts are available. The trail entry is within a few minutes' walk. Several variants are available. The trail to Zumdorf, the smallest village in Switzerland, is flat and the "zum Dörfli" restaurant invites you to refresh before skiers turn here and glide back to Hospental. In the direction of Andermatt, the more demanding, slightly undulating trail section runs. Those who want can also link the two sections together.

Changing rooms, toilets, and showers are available for cross-country skiers in Zumdorf at the "zum Dörfli" restaurant.
