  • Destination: Wengen

A relatively flat path leads from the village center of Wengen via Ledi to Hunnenfluh. Along the way, the path offers breathtaking views of the Lauterbrunnen valley. From Hunnenfluh, you enjoy a great view into the Lütschental and further down to Interlaken. From here, it is time to strap on the snowshoes. Through a wild romantic forest, you then ascend for 20 to 30 minutes up to Leiterhorn. Along the way, the deep snow-covered path offers views of Wengen and the mighty Jungfrau. Once you have reached Leiterhorn, an incredible view of the 4000-meter mountain range and the deep Lauterbrunnen valley awaits you. Those without vertigo can enjoy, on the north side, an impressive, almost 700-meter vertical view down to Zweilütschienen. The return route then leads via Ussri Allmi and Lägerweidli over a not too steep forest path down to Wengen.
