Details

Description

Away from the bustle of the ski slopes, it is a special pleasure on the Panüöl-Prodalp snowshoe trail to enjoy the idyll of nature at Flumserberg.

Hidden Gem

Enjoy the sunny, managed alpine restaurant Panüöl with the best view of the local mountain Spitzmeilen. The Spitzmeilen is known for its impressive shape and has an elevation of 2,501 m.

Equipment

Standard winter sports equipment including snowshoes and possibly poles.

Snowshoes can be rented at the INTERSPORT Network Flumserberg branches Tannenboden and Tannenheim.

Directions

The snowshoe trail begins at the alpine restaurant Panüöl. What was once a small tea hut is now a popular meeting place for winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers. On the cozy sun terrace, you can enjoy the wonderful view of the Spitzmeilen. The route starts with a gentle ascent—ideal for warming up. At the foot of Maschgenkamm, the highest point of the route is already reached. The initially steep descent through sunlit spruce forest is wonderful. Eventually, you reach the prepared winter hiking trail Prodalp-Panüöl and follow it for a short stretch. The soft murmur of the mountain streams with their elegant ice columns perfects the winter idyll. With some luck and a keen eye, you can spot snow hares here. At the Rotenberg rest area, benches invite you to take a break with a view of the impressive Spitzmeilen area. Shortly after Rotenberg, the trail branches off to the right, leaving the winter hiking trail. Trudging through the deep snow, you continue towards Prodalp. The trail becomes flatter and you slowly approach the lively winter scene of Prodalp. Before descending to the mountain restaurant, take a moment to take in the fantastic view: before your eyes stand the Churfirsten – the panoramic view of Selun, Frümsel, Brisi, Zuestoll, Schibenstoll, and Hinderrugg is unique. At the mountain restaurant, the destination of the snowshoe hike is reached. At Prodalp, you can wonderfully conclude the route and fully enjoy the afternoon sun.
