Cross-country skiing pleasure at its finest through Nordic-like terrain in the protected Rothenthurm moorland.

Our unique moorland is traversed in winter by a beautifully laid-out cross-country skiing trail. On the 20 km loop even the endurance athletes will get their money's worth. It is moderately difficult, with a tough climb at 2.5 km, a steeper descent with a subsequent longer climb at 8.5 km, another tough climb at 11.2 km, and a somewhat longer descent after 13 km. The trail is prepared for both classic and skating techniques.
