Enjoy a fantastic view of Lake Lucerne and the snow-covered mountains during a snowshoe hike on Niederbauen.

From Emmetten, take the aerial cableway to Niederbauen. We take the path to the left. After about 200 meters, it goes right down via Hohfad and Unterst Hütte to Schönenbühel. There we return back to Unterst Hütte. On the way back to the mountain station we first take the path towards Tritt and then turn left. At the mountain station there is a coffee available at the Niederbauen mountain inn with a fantastic view of Lake Lucerne and the Alps.
