Snowshoe route Fankhaus - Luthern (Napf crossing)
=================================================

- Tip
- 8.84 km long
- Difficulty: difficult
- Condition: difficult
- Great panorama
- Snowshoe

This trail is not a walk but leads steeply up to the heights of the Napf. The effort is worth it, as along the way we are rewarded with beautiful views and the tranquility of nature on initially little-used paths.

The path is well marked from Fankhaus with pink poles. Initially gentle, then steep, the path leads towards the Napf. At Grüebli 1277m, the path leads either right towards the Napf (25 minutes) and then via Trachselegg to Luthern Bad (approx. 1 hour 20 minutes) or (our choice) left to Alp Niederänzi and onwards to Luthern Bad (1 hour).
