The trail, which is groomed for both classic and skating techniques, initially leads out into the vast moorland landscape with little difficulty.

We soon notice the numerous peat huts in the landscape. In the past, they were used to store the peat that was mined and dried for heating purposes. A short time later, we encounter another characteristic element of the high valley for the first time. It is the little river Biber, one of the last freely meandering rivers in the foothills of the Alps. We will encounter it again and again along the rest of the route.
The following generally applies to the trail: the longer the trail, the more challenging the profile. No problem for less experienced runners. There are several opportunities to shorten the route at well-marked points. For example, at Bubrugg at 7km, at Bibersteg at 11km or at Brügelweg at 15km. The entire 20km route from Brügelweg towards Schwyzerbrugg should only be attempted by experienced cross-country skiers with plenty of stamina.You can obtain information about the condition of the cross-country ski trails and the snow conditions by calling 041 828 15 55.
