Description
The Bäretswil-Maiwinkel cross-country ski trail is idyllically located at about 800 metres above sea level in a pre-Alpine undulated terrain, elevated between the Glatt and the Töss Valley. The local recreation area in the heart of the Zurich Oberland is highly appreciated by its visitors. The cross-country ski trail is located in close proximity to the cities of Wetzikon and Uster and is well-known for long hours of sunshine and little foggy periods.
Eleven kilometres of trails for classic or skate skiing at Bäretswil-Maiwinkel lead over undulated terrain. For decades, volunteers have groomed and maintained the trails; since 2008 an interest group has assumed the task.
The trail offers different access points; a parking lot is located in Wappenswil (at the junction). From Bäretswil you must turn on the main road in front of the Werkhof in direction of Wappenswil. After a couple of minutes, you will already spot the cross-country ski trail.
