Elsige Trail: Off-piste over the Elsigenalp

From the Elsigenalp cable car, the snowshoe trail first leads via Undere Elsige towards the snow-covered Elsigsee. After an initial ascent, there is a magnificent view of the lively centre of Elsigenalp with its ski facilities. After a gentle climb, the path leads to Obere Elsige with the Elsighütte, a traditional alpine restaurant where a stop is worthwhile. This is also the turning point of the easier Elsige Trail. The moderately difficult Elsighorn Trail continues briefly over the ski slope and then ascends steeply to the Elsighorn. You are rewarded with stunning views of the High Alps, Lake Thun and the Niesen range. Both trails return on the same route. Shortly before the cable car station, the Berghaus Elsigenalp with its sun terrace invites you to stop for a break.
