Description

The snowy landscape of the Gantrisch Range is an ideal location for snowshoe enthusiasts. The panorama trail on the south side of the Pfyffe leads through the bright pine forest, which was damaged by the windstorm Lothar. This means that the views are unobstructed – and unique, reaching as far as the Swiss Plateau and the Bernese and Freiburg foothills of the Alps.

The circular route, which is a figure eight, can be tackled in all directions. In addition to the marked winter hiking trails, there are also various interesting options to combine for longer or shorter routes. The highest point – and also the highlight of the route – is on the crest of Pfyffe, where the mountains of the Stockhorn range, Nünenenflue, Gantrisch, Bürglen, and Ochse all feel close enough to touch.

The trail can be accessed via the entry points from Schwarzenbühl, Ottenleuenbad, or the mountain lodge.

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
