At the foot of the Titlis, wander through the Gerschniwald and admire the snow-covered, fairytale-like forests.

The Titlis funicular takes you from TITLIS valley station up to Gerschnialp. From the mountain station, follow the road for a short distance until you reach the well-signposted starting point of the winter hiking trail. This leads shortly to the first highlight of the route, the Gerschniwald. Deeply snow-covered firs, covered tree stumps, and the crunching of snow under your shoes immerse you in a fairytale world. Reaching the forest edge at Schlegi, you walk through the open terrain by Bitzistock. Here a view into the valley is recommended. Soon the mountain restaurant Untertrübsee appears in the distance, the end point of the hike. At Restaurant Untertrübsee, the meringue with cream is a secret tip. Planning a stop is worthwhile. The return trip is on the same path.
