Undulating and varied training route on the ski jump area.

The starting point of the cross-country trail is at the Nordic Center. The nearly 2 km long route on the ski jump area at Sportingpark offers a varied training route with undulating terrain. Since 2018, there has been an additional, challenging but varied section with a loop over the Bänzenrüti, which can also be bypassed. The trail is groomed for classic and skating styles. Changing and shower facilities are available in the Nordic Center next to the route.

For night owls, the trail is illuminated every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 to 9:00 pm, weather permitting.
