Snowshoe
A very beautiful snowshoe tour circuit to the Iwi Alp and back to Mörlialp.

The start is at the mountain restaurant Mörlialp. From there, you walk towards Mörliseeli where you put on the snowshoes. Then go left past the Mörliseeli between snow-covered fir trees to the edge of the forest. Across open terrain you reach the Iwi chapel after a short time, offering a unique view. From the Iwi Alp, you descend in several switchbacks on the snow-covered alpine road to the panoramic road. From there, you hike a short distance carrying snowshoes uphill on the panoramic road until the sign indicates a right turn back onto the hiking trail. Here begins the ascent over snowy paths back to Mörlialp.
