Snowshoeing Gemmi PanoramatrailPhoto: Leukerbad Marketing AG | chrissie.st, Leukerbad
The longest snowshoe trail on the Gemmi is an extension of the panorama trail. Peace, wild nature, and wonderful views guaranteed. With a bit of luck, you can observe wildlife such as chamois or ibex.
From Gemmipass, walk northwest along the winter hiking trail to Jägerboden. From here, the actual snowshoe trail begins. It ascends about 250 meters in elevation up the northeast slope of Lämmerenalp to the Lämmerenkumme. On the panoramic hill, the trail turns right and becomes flatter. It leads over the Lämmerenplatten to the Rote Chumme. Crossing the gully, you descend steeply to Seestutz. From there, the trail heads north beneath the rock walls of Wyssi Flüe. At the turning point, enjoy the wonderful view over the Alpe Spittelmatte and the Bernese Alps. After about 500 meters, you reach the historic Berghotel Schwarenbach, where you can take a deserved break. For the return route, there are two options. If you still have enough energy, walk back the challenging Gemspfad. Otherwise, take the comfortable winter hiking trail towards Daubensee - Gemmipass.
Author’s recommendation
Snowshoes can be rented at the mountain station of Gemmi or at sports shops in Leukerbad.
The historic Berghotel Schwarenbach, which was visited by numerous well-known personalities such as Mark Twain, Guy de Maupassant, or Picasso, invites you to a comfortable stop.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Roadbook
Gemmipass - Jägerboden - Lämmerenplatten - Rote Chumme - Berghotel Schwarenbach - Daubensee - Gemmipass
The marked path over the Lämmerenplatten and Rote Chumme to the Berghotel Schwarenbach is unprepared and physically demanding. You need snowshoes especially after recent snowfall or snow drifts caused by the wind. The path along the Daubensee is flat and follows the winter hiking route to the Daubensee valley station. The final ascent to Gemmipass can be done either on foot or with the Daubensee cable car.
