Cheibehorn circular trail (signposted)

From the middle station Chrindi, the route leads via the winter hiking trail into the Hinterstockenalp area, where the actual circular route begins. First following the summer hiking trail to point 1764, the path then turns right and initially ascends steeply, passing under the Cheibehorn through a small snow valley to the height at the waypoint with the junction towards Cheibehorn and Oberstockensee. This splendid viewpoint is reached via a narrow ridge. From the summit, the view sweeps south to the Bernese Alps and northwest to the Gantrisch range.
Back at the junction, the path descends towards Vorderstockenalp; above the huts, the path branches off towards Oberstockensee, reached by a zigzag route descending the slope. The winter trail towards Oberstockenalp offers new perspectives, as it crosses the southern part of the lake!
From Oberstockenalp, we follow again the summer hiking trail through the forest down to Hinterstockenalp and along the mostly frozen Hinterstockensee, the trail leads back to the middle station Chrindi.
