A highlight right at the start: the ride with the iconic red cable car from Isenfluh to the starting point Sulwald. Two snowshoe routes with wonderful panorama lead from Sulwald Stübli to Stutz, a little further the easier Sulwald Trail branches off to the right uphill over Bergherrenhus. Via Mederalp it goes uphill with a splendid view into the Lauterbrunnen valley and of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. At the highest point Haltenmad you look into the Ahornigrabe and down into the valley. The path then goes steeply downhill over snowy meadows and leads back on the road to Sulwald Stübli. The medium-difficulty Lobhorn Trail continues from the junction to the Lobhorn hut, where there is a wonderful place to stop for food and overnight. If you like, you can inquire at the hut beforehand and have fresh groceries transported up.
