The varied and technically demanding Oberberg cross-country ski run is situated at approximately 1200 metres, making it snow-secure, between the Ibergeregg and the Handgruobiarea.

The Schwyz and Ibach ski clubs groom a 5-kilometre cross-country ski trail on the high plateau of the Oberberg. This is connected to the Swiss cross-country ski trail pass. The start is at the Oberberg inn. The profile of the trail is hilly and winding, but very scenic. The Muotathal Alps with Wasserberg, Blüemberg and Chaiserstock greet you on the way. The trail, which is groomed for classic and skating, can also be used in the evening. After-work cross-country skiers switch on the lights themselves.
