On snowshoes through the wide Maighels valley
Various Dates
Snowshoe hike with a visit to the Maighels hut
On snowshoes we discover the quiet Maighels valley south of the Oberalp Pass. Thanks to the flat topography, this is ideal terrain for snowshoeing. And when visiting the Maighels hut, we can recover with a soup or a nice piece of cake!
From the Oberalp pass, we first descend slightly before turning onto the trail leading to the Maighels hut. After a round through the flat Maighels valley, it's uphill to the beautifully situated hut where we take a break. Then we descend and return to the Oberalp pass.
The tour will be take place with at least 4 participants, maximum group size 8 participants.
