Enjoyable not signposted snowshoe tour from Feutersoey to Hindere Walig.
At the Feutersoey village bus stop, the trail leads along the road up to the barrier to the lake Arnen. Don’t cross the barrier because from here, the trail mostly follows the path of the summer hiking route up to Tuxberg. During the ascent, the trail leads through a snow-covered forest. In the Schwänd area, the trail winds across the meadow to Schneeweid.
Once you arrive at Hindere Walig, you can enjoy the tranquillity of nature and the view. A few benches also invite you to rest in the middle of the landscape.
