Route: This route is a combination of parts of various different trails: https://schweizmobil.ch/en/snowshoe-trekking/route-910 , https://schweizmobil.ch/en/winter-hiking/route-670 , https://www.skitourenguru.ch/?id=12951 , https://schweizmobil.ch/en/snowshoe-trekking/route-912

Please have the route downloaded on your phone in case we split, the recommended app is SwissTopo: https://swisstopo.app/i/5/J6N28YFG .

Conditions: As of Thursday avalanche level is at level 2 for above 2000m. The trail stays below that, so it should be level 1. The tour might be cancelled/modified based on the real-life conditions encountered.

Pace: Moderate, on the faster side - with multiplier approximately 1.2x compared to the SwissTopo time. Some experience with snowshoeing is recommended. This hike is not suitable for beginners, as it's quite long for a snowshoe hike.

Starting point: Sörenberg, Rothornbahn bus stop

End point: Sörenberg, Hirsegg bus stop

How to get there: Train IR70 from Zurich HB departs at 7:10. Change in Luzern, Schüpfheim and Sörenberg. https://a.sbbmobile.ch/s/ogIWnKH7 . Apologies for an early start, but the hike will take a while.

How to get back: Bus every hour. We'll be aiming for 16:59 one.

What to take:

• Snowshoes + poles (with wide baskets).
• Winter hiking equipment.
• Food (we’ll have picnic lunch somewhere on the way).
• Usual stuff: water, sunscreen, sunglasses.

Photos: I might take photos during the hike that might afterwards be shared on the HB group. If you don't want to be on the pictures, please let me know in advance. I will also create a Google Photos album and asked everyone to contribute their photos.

Disclaimer: I'm not a guide - everyone hikes at their responsibility and risk.
