Selected alternatives for you

Small round route with snowshoes over the Rieter. Extension of the route is possible with the snowshoe tour "Brunnerboden." The marked route includes the extension. If you want to take the shortcut, simply follow the path straight ahead after passing through the tunnel.

A really great, short trail for beginners or just to stretch your legs in the snow briefly. The start of the Stoos-Rieter trail is at Stooshorn (old mountain station of the funicular). From there, it goes gently about 600 m slightly downhill towards Muotathal. Then there is a slight but hardly noticeable ascent over about 400 m, and then it goes almost straight back to the starting point at the beginning of Stoos mountain village.

Author’s recommendation

Visit to the Fronalpstock. (Ascent at the edge of the slope with snowshoes possible or by chairlift).
