Snowshoe Trail Rothwald

This snowshoe trail leads from the valley station of the Rothwald ski lifts over the marked trail into the upper Rothwald, up the Jochtwald to the Panorama Restaurant Mäderlicka. From there it descends into the impressive "Durstbach Gorge" to the "Durstbach Bridge" (junction). Then it continues over the groomed Wasmer road/slope to the mountain inn Wasenalp. Behind the restaurant, we follow the marked trail over the "Hackber" down to "d'Obru Egge" and from there back to the Hotel Ganterwald and over the sidewalk of the national road back to the starting point.

The "Advanced variant": do the hike in the opposite direction. Caution: steep ascent in the gorge!

Clothing adapted to weather conditions is essential.

Our recommendation:

• Good and waterproof footwear
• Snowshoes
• Hiking poles
• Weather-dependent (waterproof) and warm clothing
• Headgear
• Sunscreen
• Provisions
• Camera
