Author Tips

We recommend a «2-zone day pass» for walkers or sledgers (from Hasliberg Twing or Reuti) or a «2+ zone day pass» from Meiringen.

 

The region also has great possibilities for night skiing (Mägisalp-Reuti), which can be combined with an evening of fondue or raclette (a traditional Swiss dish with melted cheese grilled under direct heat) in the Mägisalp mountain restaurant.

Equipment

  • The sun’s rays are more intense in the mountains. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen with a high protection factor, a hat and sunglasses with UV protection.
  • We recommend bringing warm clothing and rain gear even in summer and in good weather in winter. We recommend layering your clothing.
  • Charged mobile phone
  • First-aid kit
  • Winter shoes with non-slip sole
  • Drinks and snacks
  • If available: hiking sticks

Safety Guidelines

  • After a snowfall, the ground can be softer and more difficult to walk on.
