The chairlift Kiental-Ramslauenen comfortably takes you to the starting point of the snowshoe trail at the mountain station. After enjoying the magnificent view from the restaurant terrace at the mountain house, the trail first follows the toboggan run until just after the first hairpin bend. The snowshoe route then branches off to the right and descends through the Bachligrabe into the Farnital area. Over snow-covered meadows, the path leads steeply down to Lengi Weid and then towards Lengschwendi. Here you meet the Kiental Trail, which leads to Tschingelsee. A combination of the two trails is also highly recommended. With a splendid view of the village of Kiental, the path descends across open terrain. The last section to the valley station of the chairlift follows the valley hiking trail along the Chiene.
