The Stockhorn area has four different snowshoe trails in various degrees of difficulty. The trails can be considered as single or can be connected as you like to make a big snowshoe tour out of it.
If you do not have snowshoes yourself, no problem. You can rent snowshoes for a whole day for CHF 25.- at the middle station Chrindi.
Please note the status of the snowshoe trails and the current avalanche danger level.
Wearing avalanche transceiver, avalanche probe and avalanche shovel is recommended!
