The Chüematte Trail on the Niederhorn is one of the most beautiful signposted snowshoe trails in the canton of Bern. From the Vorsass middle station to Alp Chüematte, snowshoers can experience an untouched and sparse alpine forest landscape. This is complemented by the breathtaking panorama of the Bernese Alps.

From the Beatenberg Vorsass middle station, the snow-covered forest path leads up towards Flösch. After a short section through the forest, the trail leads through wide open terrain with wonderful views over Lake Thun. The trail continues through an untouched and sparse alpine forest landscape to Alp Unterburgfeld. The alpine hut with its magnificent panorama invites you to take a break. The trail then climbs a short distance along the winter hiking trail up towards Oberburgfeld. Shortly before the alpine huts, however, the trail turns eastwards towards Chüematte. The following section leads through sparse forest and a unique landscape. The trail continues to Alp Chüematte. The descent to Beatenberg / Waldegg leads along the official winter hiking trail.
