With a bit of luck, you will observe a colony of ibex through a telescope on this tour. There is reason to be happy: your ascent is rewarded with a great view of the Diemtigtal.

The marked snowshoe tour at the end of the valley of the Diemtigtal Nature Park leads you through the home of the "Waldmanndli Grimmimutz" to the wildlife observation station. With a bit of luck, you might spot the ibex colony on the opposite side of the mountain with the fixed telescope. It is almost obligatory to stop and enjoy the view down into the valley at Nidegg - do you know the surrounding peaks of the Diemtigtal?

If you want, you can tackle the ascent from Nidegg to the top station of the Grimmialp chairlift (1 km). Here, however, the trail is not marked and caution is advised when crossing pistes.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Respect your boundaries and thus the habitat of our animals and plants: The tour shows you the most beautiful places away from the wildlife sanctuaries.

Safety guidelines

The hiking time depends on the amount of snow and the nature of the route as well as your physical condition.
On site you will find moderately steep terrain with occasionally steeper passages in the ascent and descent. A certain level of surefootedness is required for the tour.
