Realp-Hostetten (towards Tiefenbach)

8.18 km long
Winter hiking
The winter hiking trail Realp-Hostetten runs along the pass road towards Furka. In winter 21/22, the path from Hostetten to Hotel Tiefenbach is not groomed.

In winter, it is quiet at the Furka. It is hard to imagine that the winter hiking trail is driven by cars and motorcycles in summer. Nor is there anything to see or hear of the Furka steam railway in winter. The Furka pass road is in hibernation. The winter hiking trail from Realp to Hostetten offers a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in this winter landscape.

If you do not want to walk back down the trail on foot, sledding offers a fun alternative.
