4-Seasons Trail - Winter Walk

Nice Winterwalk, which you can hike up all the way to the mountain terminal, or simply ride the gondola up there, and stroll back downhill to the starting point of the hike from there.
Wide, groomed winter walking trail through the forest to the summit of Hochwurzen (1,852 m). You can either walk uphill to the mountain terminal of the Gipfelbahn Hochwurzen cable-car or take the cable-car and walk downhill.

Via several hairpins you ascend to the mountain saddle of Hüttecksattel and from there you reach the Hochwurzen toboggan run in a couple of minutes.
