Viktor Röthlin Trail - Red

Welcome to my home Obwalden. Thanks to running, I have been able to see many beautiful places around the world, and yet I have never lost my roots. So I am very happy to now be able to show all running enthusiasts my three favorite trails at Melchsee Frutt.

Red Trail
Starting from the mountain station, we warm up counterclockwise around Lake Melchsee. At the Balmeregg valley station, the trail leads us right up along the ski lift. On the way up, burning calves and a lot of sweat are guaranteed. But the reward is a genuine summit experience on Balmeregghorn, at 2,255 m above sea level, the highest point of this trail. This is followed by a fantastic ridge run along the Erzegg down to Lake Tannensee. If you look straight ahead here, you can see far in the distance the Engstlensee, Jochpass, and Titlis. From Tannalp, my trail leads us up to Bonistock at 2,160 m above sea level. Just before that, you will experience my personal highlight of this route. Looking right, the view extends far into the Swiss midlands. Looking left, the beautiful high plateau with Melchsee and Tannensee lies at your feet. From now on, it is only downhill back to the starting point at the mountain station.

I wish you a lot of fun on my trails in the heart of Switzerland. And who knows, maybe we'll see each other soon. If you overtake me on one of my trails, please look back and greet nicely ;-)

Best regards
Viktor Röthlin
