Exciting adventures, interactive stations, beautifully designed steles, and a wonderful winter hiking trail await active families from this winter at Niederhorn. The path is about 10 kilometers long and leads from Niederhorn via Burgfeld to Waldegg in Beatenberg. If there is enough snow, parts of the trail can be sledded.
On the adventure trail, it is shown how Rocky, the ibex, experiences the wintertime with his friends, Lenny the lynx, Happy the hare, and Yummy the deer. Exciting texts playfully inform about how wild animals survive in winter. Various photo spots invite you to take a fun family picture. There is a competition with great prizes to be won.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
If there is enough snow, a large part of the trail can be sledded. Without a sled, the hike takes about 3 1/2 hours (1 hour less with a sled). In total, it is about 1000 meters in altitude, of which 880 m is downhill.
Sled rental: As a member of the Bernese Hiking Trails, you benefit from our special offer of freesled rental.
Sleds can be rented at the Niederhorn mountain station and returned at the end of the trail at the Restaurant Regina in Beatenberg, Waldegg. Please note: sleds can only be rented when the sled rental is open. It may also happen that the lowest part of the winter hiking trail is snow-free, where the sled must be carried for a short distance.
Safety guidelines
Attention: this sled descent is very steep.
