Near the ski area Handgroubi, the two ski clubs Schwyz and Ibach operate a cross-country ski trail.

The two clubs form the interest group Loipe Oberberg. The cross-country trail (skating and classic) is located on the snow-secure high plateau of Oberberg at 1220 m. With a length of 4 km it has about 65 m of elevation difference. 2.5 km can be illuminated at any time as a night trail with the main switch, which is located above the entrance door of the Oberberg restaurant. However, an additional headlamp is still advisable. As the last trail user, please switch off the lighting again!

The Oberberg trail is connected to the Swiss cross-country ski pass.
