Selected alternatives for you

Silence, pure nature, and a wintry, high-alpine mountain backdrop await you. From the historic Gemmipass, the shorter Gemmi snowshoe route climbs via the Lämmerenalp up to the Kummen and returns in a circular tour.

Hike from Gemmipass northwest along the winter hiking trail to Jägerboden. From here, the snowshoe trail climbs about 250 meters in elevation via the sunny northeast slope to the Lämmerenkummen. Once past the steepest part, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the Lämmerenboden, Daubensee, and the surrounding mountain giants. The route then descends southeast to Lämmerenboden and returns from there to Gemmipass.

Author’s recommendation

Snowshoes can be rented at the Gemmi mountain station or at sports shops in Leukerbad.

Combine the trip with a little sledding adventure. Two sledding runs lead down from Gemmipass to Daubensee. Sleds can be rented at the mountain station.
