best season
The circular route between Grimmialp and Zwischenflüh offers various starting points. So you can put together your own individual tour as you wish. The Diemtigtal cross-country trails lead you along mountain streams, through snow-covered forests and across untouched meadows and let you glide weightlessly and rhythmically through the snow.
The Wiriehorn trail leads through gentle slopes and across the flat valley floor.

General information
Directions
The circuit starts at the Wiriehorn holiday centre (Allmiried) and leads via Enetchirel down to the valley road. The first road crossing is necessary at the water bridge. On the valley floor, the trail continues to the Anger cattle showground and requires further road and stream crossings. After a short ascent, you reach the turning point of the tour in Staldenmaad. Partly on additional loops, you glide back to the starting point. Follow the tracked trail and the turquoise signposting.
Extension options
From Staldenmaad transition to Tiermatti trail
