If there is enough snow in the valley, the skins can be mounted almost down in St. Stephan. Otherwise you follow the road until there is enough snow and then ski through the forest and fields towards your destination. A little patience is required until the forest on the Chirschbüelhubel clears and the Wistätthore becomes visible. The view over the Obersimmental valley on the ascent over the Lasenberg makes up for the long ascent. From the hinder Laseberg it is then just under 500 m to the summit of the Wistätthore. The panorama is breathtaking.

The descent begins along the ascent route with beautiful slopes. Then either continue along the ascent route via Chirschbüel or enjoy another very beautiful slope into the Dürrewald forest. Along the snow-covered Dürrewaldstrasse, the ascent route is then reached again, which is followed back to St. Stephan.

Classification according to the SAC difficulty scale for ski tours: L+


  • Approach

    By main road from Zweisimmen or Lenk to St. Stephan.

  • Take the train to St. Stephan station. From there, continue on foot until you reach the snow and can put on your skins.

  • At the school parking lot in St. Stephan

  • St. Stephan - Brendli - Laseberg - Wistätthore

  • The appropriate equipment and the necessary specialist knowledge (avalanche awareness, alpine skills) are mandatory for ski tours! If you have no experience in assessing the avalanche situation in open terrain, it is better to go on a ski tour with a trained mountain guide/snow sports instructor.

  • As with any ski tour, you need an avalanche transceiver, probe, shovel and crampons.

  • If there is not much snow left in the valley, you can park your car along the Rüwlisstrasse. Park so that other cars can pass!
