VORSASS – GRÜNENBERGPASS – HABKERN

Welcome to the longest marked snow shoe trail in the region Berne. This challenging route starts at the middle station Vorsass and leads northeast up to Flösch. After a short ascent along the hiking trail it follows the forest line across to Chüematte. On fairweather weekends the Chüematte bar is open for refreshments. From here the trail climbs up to the huts of Oberberg. Continuing along the south slope of the Gemmenalphorn you reach the foot of Güggisgrat. The view down to the Justistal, the Sigriswiler Rothorn, Sichel and the seven stallions is breathtaking. After a short descent you are in the Seefeld area which reaches all the way to Grünenbergpass. Far away from civilization you feel like you are in a different world. Leaving the Grünenbergpass you enter the snow covered fir tree forest and follow the way down southwards to Habkern.
