Lindenberg trail

Since 1971, there have been cross-country ski trails on Lindenberg for all levels. Mostly lying above the sea of fog, the Horben trail offers a panoramic view far into the Pre-Alps and Alps.

The start and finish are at the Alpwirtschaft Horben, which is located on the southeast side of the ridge, not far from Horben Castle. Beginners can warm up on a shorter practice track (1.4 km). The longest trail, which leads into the adjacent canton of Lucerne, is the one over the Lindenberg.

After a short climb, cross-country skiers are treated to a great view over the Upper Freiamt region to the Rigi and Titlis. The route continues past a rustic farm – always along the forest edge. Those who want to enjoy the view again can make a loop downhill back towards the restaurant. Ambitious skiers can branch off the route towards Lindenberg. Several sections of the Horben trail pass through the forest, where the snow-covered trees create a wintry atmosphere.
