Grimmialp winter hiking trail

An easy trail leads from Senggiweid to the unspoilt Blauseeli and on around the village of Schwenden. Enjoy the beautiful view of the mountain village at the back of the Diemtigtal.

After just a few metres, you will reach the idyllic Blauseeli on the easy circular trail. Regardless of whether it is covered in deep snow or only a little snow, the Seeli impresses with its deep blue colour and is a popular photo spot. Later, on the Seehorenweid, a beautiful view opens up over the mountain village of Schwenden and you already discover your next destination: the romantic chapel near the former Grandhotel Kurhaus Grimmialp.

If there is enough snow, you can extend the trail as you wish:
From Seehorenweid you hike further out of the valley via Oberematte, Seeboden to the Anger cattle showground (3.5 km).

Directions

The circular hike starts at the Senggiweid car park and leads to the idyllic Blauseeli. Follow the prepared path via Senggi to Seehoreweid. After a short descent you reach the village of Schwenden and walk for a short time (250 m) along the main road to the path that leads you to the romantic Schwenden Chapel and on to the Hotel Kurhaus Grimmialp. For the last kilometre, you walk on flat terrain back to the starting point. The trail is marked with pink directional signs.

The winter hike can be extended as desired:
from Senggiweid to Würzi (1.5 km)
from Seehoreweid via Oberematte, Seeboden to Anger (3.5 km)
