Snowshoe

Pine-like beautiful! Explore the forest with snowshoes on your feet, the babbling of the mountain stream in your ears. A wonderful snowshoe trail in untouched nature.

You start directly at the mountain station of the Dallenwil-Wirzweli aerial cableway and walk about 15 minutes to the trail signpost "Tannenpfad". This is located on the left next to the valley station of the Gummenalp aerial cableway. From there, the marked trail runs parallel to the "Arvitrail" until Hinterhegen, where you cross the stream at the Ronemattligraben. A climb follows through the reed and the snow-covered forest to the Ronen area at around 1,500 m above sea level. Then continue to the mountain inn Gummenalp (1,579 m above sea level). Here you can plan a cozy rest for body and soul. If the distance covered is enough for you, take the small 6-person aerial cableway to Eggwald and hike about 15 minutes from the valley station of the Gummen cable car to the starting point Wirzweli. The second option to return to Wirzweli is the trail "Panoramawelt" via Wirzwelihorn. The walking time is about 1.5 hours since the path is walked in reverse, contrary to the trail description below.
