Through forests, along icy mountain streams, and over snow-covered meadows, the cross-country ski trails in the Diemtigtal lead you on 22 kilometers for classic and skating styles.

The circular route between Grimmialp and Zwischenflüh offers various starting points and lets you create your own route as you wish. The Diemtigtal trails lead you along mountain streams, through snowy forests, and across untouched meadows and allow you to glide weightlessly and rhythmically through the snow.

The Tiermatti trail runs over flat, technically easy terrain. The trail runs partly on the huge debris cone of the Balmigraben, where the farms of Thiermatten (now Tiermatti) are located, and partly in the area of a silted-up, former lake, the Seebode. It is the sunniest of the three Diemtigtal trails.

  • Swiss cross-country pass: Fr. 160
  • Diemtigtal season ticket: Fr. 90
  • Diemtigtal week pass: Fr. 50
  • Trail ticket (day pass): Fr. 12
