Snowshoeing

On soft feet through winter landscapes
Enjoy the fascination of our winter wonderlands on soft feet: snowshoes. Feel the crisp air, glance at our majestic peaks on your hike. Snowshoe trails can be found in the area of Rothwald and Rosswald or on the Simplon Pass.
Our insiders’ tip: As a perfect ending ritual to a long hike, we recommend you warm up with a fondue and an exquisite glass of Fendant – and last but not least – "a clear" one to warm up even more. See brochure can be found in the download area.
Be a responsible snowshoe hiker!
Snowshoeing is a huge trend. As a result the local wildlife and forests are impacted negatively. An information campaign by the local wildlife, hunter and forestry service aims to educate our guests on this topic. We kindly ask you to follow our guidelines and respect nature on your hikes, for your own safety as well as the future of our environment. More on this topic can be found here.

Zwischbergen, Sera – Cross the river Grosses Wasser at the end of the dam. Follow the summer path markings over the Härd to the Flurstrasse (corridor road) and follow it to the brook Karpänz. The easier option leads along the left bank of the river down the valley to a bridge and then along the Flurstrasse to Härd. From there either on the street or over the meadows, ascend past the huts of Cagranda to the power mast in Curtett and into the light forrest. Via the soutwest ridge you will reach the summit of the Camoscellahorn / Pizzo Pioltone easily.
Descent
Zwischbergen, Sera – The descent is via the ascent route. This may vary depending on the risk assessment.
San Lorenzo, Italien – Recommended is also the descent over the south ridge of the Camoscellahorn to reach a point slightly above the Passo di Monscera. From there continue southeast over the Alpe Monscera (1’978 m) and continue – following the high-voltage line – to San Bernardo and on the street to San Lorenzo.
