It is 1000 m of elevation gain to Albristhubel. The wonderful panorama with the Obersimmental mountains compensates for the long ascent. This route is not marked in the terrain.

This snowshoe tour, with its relatively gentle slopes (mostly under 30°), is doable in almost all snow conditions. The start is directly in Matten when there is enough snow. After about 20 minutes, the old Färmeltstrasse reaches the right turn-off to Färmelbode. By then, it is usually possible to put on snowshoes. The ascent now follows the forest edge up to the treeline at about 1800 m above sea level. Here in the open terrain, the view of the surrounding mountains becomes increasingly beautiful. At the well-deserved break at the top of Albristhubel, you can fully enjoy the panorama with views of the Spillgerten, Albristhore, Wistätthore, and the Wildstrubel massif.

The descent follows the same route back to Matten.

  • Approach

    From Lenk or Zweisimmen via the main road to Matten.

  • By train from Lenk or Zweisimmen to Matten SBB timetable

    Alternatively, depending on the snow situation, you can take the Taxi 4x4 to a higher starting point.

  • At Färmeltstrasse near the Mühleweidli fire pit

  • Matten - Färmelbode - Eggen - Albristhubel

  • For snowshoe tours, the appropriate equipment and necessary expertise (avalanche safety, alpine skills) are mandatory! If you have no experience in assessing avalanche situations in open terrain, it is better to go on snowshoe hikes with a trained snow sports instructor or mountain guide.

  • As with any snowshoeing route, an avalanche beacon, probe, and shovel are part of the equipment.
