The snowshoe trail starts at the mountain station and leads about 300 meters uphill to the Fleschboden restaurant. After a well-deserved rest at the highest point of the tour, the trail leads down on the other side of the ski slopes back to the chalets of Rosswald and to the mountain station of the gondola lift. The marked snowshoe trail is easy to walk with the appropriate equipment and also suitable for beginners. The entire route, especially the descent, is very sunny and offers a great view into the Rhone Valley – up to central Valais.
Turn-by-turn directions
You start this trail at the Rosswald mountain station and follow the marked path to the restaurant. From there, continue to the end of the parking lot. The trail leads through the forest to the old wooden chalets of Alpe Rosswald. Now follow the markings on the old military road through the Saflisch forest until you reach the blue ski slope. From here it is not far to the intermediate destination. You hike along the ski slope to the Fleschboden restaurant. You have now reached the highest point of the trail. The return route leads you downhill across the large area next to the ski lift into a forest section. Then follows a short, steep descent, which you manage in a zigzag. Afterwards you hike through the open forest with views of the Glishorn and into the Rhone Valley towards Rosswald. Southeast of you are the Ganter Valley, the Wasenalp, and the Simplon Pass. Between the holiday apartments and chalets, you reach back to the mountain station.
