The access point is just above the Jägerstübli restaurant, where snowshoe routes are also signposted. The path takes in snow-laden fir trees and offers stunning views as the valley spreads out into an untouched winter wonderland. Animal tracks are visible here and there in the calming stillness. The winter trail continues over the flat of the «Mad», passing mountain cabins painted in sunny shades. Next, the path slopes downhill before flattening out at the «Schwendallmi». Shortly afterwards, the winter trail connects with the road. From this point, hikers can follow the road towards Habkern village or switch to a snowshoe path after a few metres.
