Snowshoeing

Your snowshoes will help you make great progress through the snow.

Picture the scene – the forests and meadows have been coated with a layer of fresh snow. The sun is shining in the pale blue sky. It's the perfect time to strap on your snowshoes and make yeti-like tracks in the powdery white stuff.

Two beautiful snowshoe trails beckon on the slopes of TITLIS.
 

  • Gerschnialp-Untertrübsee trail

    From the mountain station, you follow the road for a short while until you reach the well-marked starting point of the Gerschnialp trail. Once you have reached the edge of the forest at Schlegi, the trail then takes you across open terrain towards Untertrübsee mountain restaurant. The route continues across a large mountain meadow, then along the edge of the forest and back to Gerschnialp mountain station.
