The snowshoe tour starts at the ski lift in Lauenen and leads across the ski slope and then cross-country to the edge of the forest. From here the trail follows the forest road to the top station of the ski lift. The trail then climbs through picturesque forest sections to the Chrinenpass at 1658 m.a.s.l. On the Chrinenpass you can enjoy a wonderful view of the snow-covered mountain panorama. After the ascent, the marked trail leads downhill through enchanting landscapes to Gsteig.
