The fairy-tale winter landscape in Langis/Glaubenberg offers a unique setting for snowshoe hikers.

As the name Jänzi Panorama Trail already suggests, this marked snowshoe path leads up to Jänzi, from where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains and the Sarneraatal.
The pink starting panel at the Langis cross-country ski hut gives an overview of the circular route. It leads to the Schwendi-Kaltbad restaurant, continues along the meandering Schliere, turns east at the bridge at point 1409 up to Egg point 1608, and over the ridge northwards to Jänzi. It is worth taking a break at the summit cross and letting yourself be enchanted by the unique scenery. The return route leads over wide hills to Wolfetsmatt–Hohnegg back to the Langis car park (last section along the road).
