If there is enough snow in the valley, the skins can almost be put on already in St. Stephan. Otherwise, follow the road towards Dürewald until there is enough snow, then continue on skis through forest and fields towards the goal. Once the upper Chatzestalde is reached, the view opens up to the wild and pristine Dürewald valley. Following the route through the valley, you can enjoy the view of Wisstätthorn and Laseberg, so even the last altitude meters to Flöschhore fly by like a breeze. The panorama of the Spillgerten, Albristhorn, and the entire end of the Simmental valley is gigantic. The descent first follows the ridge, later through clearings in the forest to Matten.

Rating according to SAC difficulty scale for ski routes: WS-

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

  • As with every ski route, an avalanche transceiver, probe, shovel, and crampons are part of the equipment.
