Circular route Jaunpass - Oberenegg

A varied, easy winter hike starting and ending at the Jaunpass restaurant. Winter hiking is always more demanding than a comparable summer hike. Suitable equipment adapted to temperature and snow conditions is important. Dressing in layers is recommended. The most important are good, high, and warm shoes with a grippy sole. Hiking poles are almost a must, they greatly facilitate walking on snow. A light backpack with some drinks and snacks is also part of it.

Take the TPF bus on the winding pass road through the snowy landscape to Jaunpass, restaurant. Here you take the winter hiking path towards Oberenegg. At the beginning, the path is quite flat and easy to walk. Caution is advised when crossing the cross-country ski trail. Sometimes snowshoers are also on the same path. Soon you have the rugged and impressive Gastlosen in view. Hiking them in summer is also an impressive experience. Short, somewhat challenging climbs now follow. The view of the Nieder- and Obersimmental mountain panorama is impressive. Looking back, you see the unique viewpoint Bäderhorn. The loop in the rear part of the hike can be walked in both directions. On the plateau, you reach the highest point of the tour at Oberenegg Läger, 1689 m. Here the path turns, and you can effortlessly walk downhill enjoying the snowy mountain landscape and snow-covered trees. Via Obere Houwe and the Chilmoos high moor, you reach the cozy little inn "Bruch-Baragge" where you can rest and refresh yourself in the beautiful landscape. The final stretch leads us to the TPF bus stop Jaunpass, restaurant with further dining options in the restaurant Taverne.
