Highlight / Special offers Summer: |
|
| Top News / Special offers summer | Seit einigen Jahren erfreut sich das Schneeschuhlaufen, die ursprünglichste Art der Fortbewegung im Winter, wieder grosser Beliebtheit. Dies verwundert nicht, denn Schneeschuhwandern bietet Fitness im Winter, Abenteuer im Schnee und Entspannung in der Natur. Das Beste daran: Schneeschuhlaufen kann eigentlich jeder, der auch wandern kann. Neu ab Winter 2008/09 sind drei neue Schneeschuhtrails: Mühlebach - Chäserstatt, Chäserstatt - Erner Galen, Erner Galen - Steinmannli |
