Snowshoe tour from the Klewenalp mountain station to the Klewenstock chairlift and then through a section of forest and along winter hiking trails back to the Klewenalp mountain station.
From the Klewenalp mountain station, it's a few meters towards Klewenboden and then turn off towards the Klewenstock chairlift. A snowshoe trail leads to the valley station of the Klewenstock chairlift, where you can then relax on the ascent with the Klewenstock chairlift. Once at the top station of the chairlift, the snowshoe trail leads through a forest path down towards the winter hiking trail. The last section back to the mountain station can then be covered on the winter hiking trail.
