best season
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).
