This wonderful circular route starts at the mid-station of Stand Xpress and follows the snowshoe trail Metsch to the forest edge. From here, this trail ascends along the forest edge to the 6-seater chairlift Metschmaad, which lies just a few meters beside the Iglu Bar and is easily accessible with snowshoes. The route relatively flatly follows a snow-covered road towards Bühlberg before the descent back to the Stand-Xpress mid-station goes through remote fields on the snowshoe trail Metsch returning to the mid-station.
