Snowshoe trail 877: Hospental
The snowshoe trail starts at Hospental station. We cross the Reuss and follow it for a few meters. Then the path gradually rises. Over the moss, we reach Bielenboden, pass old barns before returning to the old Furka Pass road. To finish, we cross the Reuss again over the historic arched bridge.
This short, technically easy circular route offers diverse views into the Urserntal and can also be walked in the evening with appropriate equipment. The silence and the delicate light of the moon will delight you!
