Rittisberg Loop

An all-weather family hike to traditional huts.

The forest-covered mountain Rittisberg is maintained by the forest cooperative though many local farmers own shares of the land.

In winter, the Rittisberg is being used for alpine- and nordic skiing. Rittisloipe is one of the most beautiful and longest cross-country trails within the plateau's 205 km long network.

In summer, its forests offer various hiking and refreshment opportunities.
