Description
The snowshoe trail starts at the mountain station and leads uphill for about 300 meters to Fleschboden Restaurant. After a well-deserved rest at the highest point of the excursion, the trail leads down the other side of the ski slopes back to the chalets of Rosswald and the top station of the gondola lift. The marked snowshoe trail is easy to walk with the appropriate equipment and is also suitable for beginners. The entire route, and especially the descent, is very sunny and offers a great view of the Rhone –Valley – all the way to Mittelwallis.
Turn-by-turn directions
Start this trail at the mountain station in the Rosswald and follow the marked slope to the restaurant. From there, continue left to the end of the car park. The trail leads through the forest to the old wooden chalets of the Alpe Rosswald. Now follow the markings on the old military trail through the Saflischwald forest until you reach the blue ski slope. From here it is not far to the intermediate destination. Hike along the ski slope to the Fleschboden restaurant. This is the highest point of the trail. The way back leads you downhill across the large area next to the ski lift into a section of forest. This is followed by a short, steep, zigzagging descent. Hike through the open forest with views of the Glishorn and into the Rhone Valley towards the Rosswald. To your left are the Gantertal, Wasenalp and the Simplon Pass. Return to the mountain station through the holiday flats and chalets.
