BLS suggestion
The winter hiking trails high up on Springenboden are where you'll find the most beautiful views in the Diemtigtal Nature Park. With the three variants of the winter hiking trail, you can choose your hike to suit your preferences: The shortcut options via Ahorni or Neuenstift are ideal for shorter walks with little difference in altitude. The trail via Alp Ottenschwand is pretty challenging, but the ascent to 1500 metres above sea level is rewarded with an impressive view of the rear Diemtigtal valley and the Simmental valley. After walking for three hours, enjoy a cosy end to a beautiful winter's day in one of Springenboden's two restaurants.
