Experience the fascination of snowshoeing in the beautiful winter world on Klewenalp, high above Lake Lucerne.
This varied snowshoe hike leads you from the Klewenalp mountain station past the Klewen chapel. After a short crossing of the Ergglen ski slope, you enter the idyllic forest landscape. Many forest clearings offer a breathtaking view of the surrounding Central Swiss mountains and the deep blue Lake Lucerne.
The covered year-round Ergglen fireplace or the mountain restaurants PanoramaBar, Klewenstock, Alpstubli, and KlewenStube 1600 invite you to a cozy rest on the way back to the Klewenalp mountain station (opening hours at www.klewenalp.ch).
