This roughly one-hour, two-kilometer loop trail starts and ends at the Sunnbüel mountain station. Spectacular views, the "Wintertäli" valley, and varied forest sections characterize this diverse trail.
Varied and scenic: the trail first winds along the slopes of the Üschinengrat before reaching the expansive Spittelmatte. This moderately difficult loop offers beautiful views of the Altels and the Ringerhorn.
