Wonderful snowshoe tour in the deserted landscape of the upper Zulgtal.

The trail starts near the bus stop in Rüttegg and leads past the Vorderer Zugschwand alp to the first hill. Wonderful views of the Eriztal valley and the Mittelland open up again and again. The trail continues briefly through a section of forest to Alp Vordere Schöriz. The trail then climbs steadily to the Stouffeli. The idyllic hut below the Stouffe is characterized by a wonderful panoramic view. The trail then leads uphill to the ridge. From here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Sieben Hengste and the surrounding mountains. The subsequent descent takes you through open, untouched landscapes. Via point 1352, the trail leads to Alp Undere Schöriz and then along the summer hiking trail to Geissegg in Innereriz.
