The snowshoe trail leads through the protective mountain forest to the Galmihornhütte in a sharp zigzag and with a steady incline. The 360° panorama of the Münster sunny terrace over the white mountain peaks of the Valais Alps is breathtakingly beautiful! From here you not only look out over the compact villages of the Rhone valley but also feel freed from the distant worries of everyday life.

Safety guidelines
Use of the snowshoe trails is at your own risk. Obergoms Tourismus AG disclaims any liability and accepts no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website.
Carry a hiking map with you or download the complete description of the hiking trail with a large-scale map. Use only marked paths and observe all signs and instructions - for your own safety, to protect the landscape, and out of respect for wildlife. Behave considerately towards other trail users. Take your waste and that of others with you.
Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In unstable weather, it is better to turn back early.
Carry additional sun protection. UV rays at high altitude can be very strong, especially in winter, even when the sky is overcast.
Plan your tour carefully and thoroughly. Inform yourself in advance about current conditions (avalanche danger, trails, winter hiking trails, snowshoe trails, and road conditions) and weather conditions. The Winter Sports Report provides valuable information from the region.
