Winter hiking

Niederhorn winter wonderland for hiking
Crunchy snow under your feet, snow covers glistening in the sunlight, a velvety stillness surrounds us, blessing us with peace and tranquility – Welcome to the Niederhorn winter wonderland!
Even in winter, the hiking trail on the Niederhorn in the direction of Burgfeld is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Switzerland. Where there are otherwise green Alpine meadows, a well-prepared winter hiking trail leads through the snow-covered mountain landscape. Mountain restaurants, a pub and a snow bar in a most delightful location, and a ski lodge that exudes coziness await you. Stroll along at your leisure or take brisk, sporty strides through the magic of the winter.
