Snowshoe trail 897: Gitschenen, Isenthal
Hiking in the snowy mountain world is an experience. With a bit of luck, you can observe deer, chamois or snow hares. Night owls also get their money's worth: the route can also be done by full moon. The route leads from the cable car to the mountain station of the ski lift, then to Rüteli and the front Schrindi. From there it is only a few meters to the viewpoint. The path leads back through the forest to the ski lift. The route is also suitable for beginners and takes about 1.5 hours covering 2.3 km.
