Description

Recharge your energy away from the winter hustle and enjoy the tranquility - on the snowshoe trail Plattis you enjoy the silence of the snowy mountain world with a magnificent panoramic view of the Spitzmeilen area. The easy snowshoe hike is ideal for beginners.

Hidden Gem

In the sunny alpine restaurant Panüöl with the best view of the local mountain Spitzmeilen, the popular and well-known Panüöl cheese slice, a cheese fondue, or a raclette is recommended. 

Equipment

Normal winter sports equipment including snowshoes and possibly poles.

Snowshoes can be rented at Intersport in Flumserberg.

Directions

The snowshoe hike starts at the alpine restaurant Panüöl. On foot, Panüöl can be reached via the snowshoe trail Prodalp-Panüöl or by gondola and chairlift from Flumserberg Tannenboden via Maschgenkamm. On the cozy sunny terrace, a wonderful view of the Spitzmeilen opens up. The circular route leads over the high plateau Plattis. Where cows graze on alpine meadows in summer, you enjoy the peace and idyll of the winter landscape. After the first few meters, the trail branches off to the left and leads along the mountain ridge. On this section, the Spitzmeilen area shows itself from its most impressive side. The summit of Spitzmeilen towers steeply out of the snow slopes like a rocky tooth. The local mountain of Flumserberg lies on the cantonal border of St. Gallen and Glarus and is a popular destination in summer as well as in winter. After about 1.2 km, you cross the Tannenboden-Fursch cross-country ski trail and follow the trail past snow-covered fir trees. The route rises gently and curves around the small moor area. With a bit of luck, you can discover wildlife tracks in the snow. In the last section, you cross the ski trail again and return to the alpine restaurant. Ambitious snowshoers can combine the tour with the snowshoe trail Panüöl-Prodalp. The descent is rewarded with a lot of afternoon sun thanks to the south-facing exposure and a spectacular view of the Sarganserland.
