    The green 7 km trail leads to the front part of the village – towards the sun, and includes some highlights along the route.

    From the starting point at the Muggeseeli information point, the legendary climb through the “Wildi” district awaits soon. But don't worry, the downhill to the catholic church is a direct reward. Past the valley station of the Oeschinensee gondola, there is immediately the second descent where there is the option to shorten the route by turning left at the end of the descent or to follow the original route on the right. The original route leads along the sunniest ascent up to the ski jumping stadium of the Nordic Arena.

    Safety information

    Please note that you are basically on your own responsibility! The trail association does not maintain its own rescue system and does not do the final piste check as is usual in alpine ski areas. Also observe the SOS info signs as well as the board of rules of conduct at the cross-country skiing center.
