Magical myths in any winter weather
Tour description
Some have probably learnt to ski on the ski lift at Brunni - and then forgotten the valley. We meet at the Brunni car park at 9 a.m. at the latest, preferably at Wädenswil station if you're travelling by public transport.
I rediscovered the Alptal thanks to snowshoe hikes and this medium tour is always worthwhile, even for beginners. After the ascent through hopefully snow-covered fir forests, we take a longer break on the Furggelen. At the hut, there's soup or milk coffee from the Kacheli at the weekend, with a bottle of Schnapps on the table.
From there we hike along the ridge to Holzegg. The Schwyz and Glarus Alps to the left, the Uri mountains ahead and the large and small Mythen mountains to the right accompany us through the winter landscape. From Holzegg we descend back down into the valley and from Brunni take the public transport back to the grey city. This snowshoe hike can be done in all winter conditions, with beautiful views of the central swiss Alps.
