Snowshoe route Schwellbrunn - Herisau

The area of the municipality of Schwellbrunn can be explored on three trails recognized by the Swiss Snowshoe Association SVS with quiet XXL soles. All offer great views and, since they mostly follow official hiking trails, are also accessible in spring, summer, and autumn. The hiker moves at an altitude of 800 to 1100 meters above sea level, and fog is usually not a problem. It is worth taking a closer look in the village of Schwellbrunn: the villagescape is of national importance and has many charming houses with beautiful historical details to offer. Traditional culture and living customs are part of the identity of the population. Rural life with farms scattered over the hills and valleys is ubiquitous. Hike from Schwellbrunn Halden to Säntisblick, continuing to Geisshalden, Nieschberg, and then to Herisau.
