Classic and skating cross-country skiing on a super well-prepared and beautiful trail.

The beautiful trail runs along Lake Sihlsee, past the Roblosen trail café (watch for signs, closed on Tuesdays). You must try a trail coffee there! The view over Lake Sihlsee to the mountains is fantastic. Then it continues to the Schwantenau moor area, a beautiful moor landscape with tilted peat huts and birch forests. After cross-country skiing, you can refresh yourself at the trail café at the start area and enjoy the sun.

The loop can be completed in 1 / 2 / 3 / 9 / 12 / 15 km. The area around Lake Sihlsee and the Schwantenau moor is beautiful. Equipment can be rented at the start area. Book a cross-country skiing course.
