Tschuggen
Intermediate station gondola
After passing through the holiday settlement of Tschuggen, the winter hiking trail leads along the road uphill to the intermediate station of the large Blatten-Belalp gondola, where you can board the cable car by pressing the "Stop on request" button and travel towards Blatten or Belalp.
This winter hike can of course also be done in reverse from the intermediate station back to Tschuggen.
Despite the "unmistakable" markings of the hiking trails, we recommend always having a suitable hiking map with you for safety reasons so that, for example, in case of a thunderstorm or an emergency you can quickly find a safe area.
Especially in autumn, pay attention that fallen leaves on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees can still fall or branches can drop afterwards. Particularly in adverse weather conditions, natural paths may have muddy and slippery sections. You must expect such path hazards when undertaking a hike.
Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is sometimes required. If you consider certain sections of the path impassable for you, you should avoid them.
Sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, sun and rain protection, as well as sufficient supplies of food and drinks, should be carried in case there are no dining or shopping opportunities available or open. Although the path is very well marked throughout, for safety reasons you should always have a suitable hiking map with you. Take poles or other aids with you.
When you reach the Tschuggen intermediate station, you can also easily sled down again in good snow conditions.
